Trips to the dentist

Yes I believe it is harmful to neglect your teeth, I use to hate to go to the Dentist, I do not like needles so the thought of going just drove me nuts, well now my teeth are a mess, and I am always running back in forth, not afraid of needles now, to bad its too little too late. , thanks peacefulwmn for reminding how much I screwed up my teeth lol , I was feeling really good a minute ago lol, Right now my brother is in so much pain with his wisdom tooth, I feel so bad for him, you can see how much pain his is in whenever you look at him, he said he will go to the dentist on tuesday.

Hi Karen! I try my best to take care of my teeth so that the need for going to a dentist may not arise. I do not go to a dentist for routine check ups.

Between one and two, mostly when I need a tooth pulled. I don't do the whole checkup thing b/c I don't have insurance and I don't have the money to blow on it. I just take care of them myself and if they get too bad and need to be pulled, I get them pulled. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I go every 6 months and usually he just inspects and takes a bit of tartar of mmy bottom front teeth and that is it. I do use an electric toothbrush with a double head. I have two heads in use and use a different one each day so it has more than a day to dry out. Then I use the head dry for two minutes and only put toothpaste on after the two minutes. That seems to work okay if only I could get rid of that last bit on my bottom front teeth. I suspect the dentist just makes a show of that so I think he is doing something for the money.

Ill tell u i wish i wouldve taken better care of my teeth by going to the dentist.I had to have 2 teeth pulled cuz they broke off and i was in alot of pain. If u got a chance to go to the dentist go and get ur teeth taken care of believe dont wait til u suffer before u decide to go

hi karen, i do not know we have dental insurance,we won't go for dental checkup if we have tooth pain,i will attend doctor most of the people do like that only,have a nice day

I haven't been for some time now, I had a great dentist where I used to live but sadly because I had to move, I had to find another one, no disrespect to the ladies but I have had bad experiences with female dentists, and when I found a local one I went along and she was a woman and she was so damn rude, that I vowed never to go back. I am trying to find another dentist but I keep putting it off as going to the dentist is an ordeal, I do look after my teeth and they are to me healthy I know I should get them checked out but only when they start to give me problems!
