Hi there folks, I'm curious how much is the greatest amount you spend with your teeth and why did you go for it? I just want to find out because I have spent about $140.00 in the year 2007 just to have a nice teeth in front. That's the payment for 2 teeth because I don't have any budget to pay for the other 2 to make it 4. I always crave to have a nice set of teeth. What the dentist did is to use porcelain and planted the teeth covering my previous teeth. Will you spend lots of money for your teeth?

I am not sure on how much I have already spent with my teeth but definitely, it was a lot already and the amount is still going and going. I had jackets and crowns before and now I have new braces. Aside from the hurt it causes me physically, it also hurts my pocket. I think I have to really pay for it if I want to have that "perfect smile". It will also help me improve my self-confidence because having a not-so-nice teeth hindered me from showing my teeth while smiling . Before, I used to visit my dentist only twice a year, but now I have to visit her every month because of my braces 
. I just hope that this pain is worth it.

Yes I definitely agree that if we want to have a nice set of teeth, then we must really sacrifice to pay even if it hurts our pocket. Anyway I wish you good luck to that monthly teeth treatment but I'm sure that what you are spending is worth it. Happy my lotting!

I just spent $1000 to have a crown on a molar. Dental is expensive. I need 2 more teeth worked on, but I don't have the money right now.

i usually spend around US$20 twice a year to clean my teeth. last year i paid around US$200 for a clench inhibitor (CI). i have bruxism and my teeth is starting to wear off. the CI is worn to stop me from grinding my teeth at night. it's working pretty good for me, at least my jaws stop aching. other than that, i've never done anything special for my teeth. cheers

I spent for about $40 to pluck one of my teeth, which was a big trouble to brush, eat or to chew......

The highest amount is when I had my teeth extracted at a private practitioner dentist for 480php. I usually have my teeth maintenance at the local public hospital, but during that time, I haven't scheduled an appointment so I was forced to go to a private one. In our place, if you could schedule an appointment ahead of time, the extraction is free and you get discount for other services.
