Mom and I went to the dentist today. She had her teeth cleaned while I got my teeth x-rayed/examined by the dentist. - Bad news - 3 of my teeth, need 5 fillings for cavities. Shockingly the last visit 6 months ago my hygienist said, my teeth was looking mighty clean with no cavities! My dentist, said my cavities are very minor + lucky they caught it early on so it won't be a hard procedure. And, the reason being is my cavities are not visible from the naked eye. It was barely noticeable on the x-ray but they want to get it done before it spreads. I finished my dentist visit early, so I went to go watch my mom get her teeth cleaned and told her the bad news. Of course, she nagged at me. After, she finished her teeth cleaning, she went to go see the dentist and get x-rays and her teeth examined too! Then, I went to get my teeth cleaned. I asked my dental hygienist how come she couldn't see my cavities? It's because it is between my teeth and only visible in x-rays. Afterwards, met up with my mom and she had 2 cavities herself! What a horrible day today! We made our appointments for November. There goes $$$$! Tip from my dental hygienist: Purchase mouthwash with fluoride. I will be looking into that soon at Target. Fluoride protects your teeth by strengthening to make them more decay resistant. She was just a little late telling us... More job security + money for them. Then again, my dad says it's a way for them to bait us. Who knows? We don't have any toothaches or anything either. Oh who to believe?
