Good day friends
I just cleared all the notifications because I hadn’t been very active the previous days.
On Monday, my son and I had a tartar cleaning scheduled and during the examination my son found caries on 4 teeth on the surface of the caries, so he went at 12 noon today to fix it, it is now 5pm and he is still missing. I hope this will make him brush his teeth better.
We had a real spring day here today, it was warm and sunny.
Are you afraid of the dentist and do you go for regular check-ups?

I had a mild case of that this post year but I think it's finally healed up as I can open my mouth again without my jaw hurting.
If you let them know maybe there's some other way for them to work on your teeth to minimize tmj.

@MarshaMusselman Does that mean you can’t open your mouth very hard when you’re at the dentist?

Going to the dentist is probably one of the few things I have done during this virus. I have tried to avoid past dentists and then got a new one so after the dental hygienist takes care of me before the virus I had to see the dentist afterwards. During the virus I only see the dental hygienist because I have known her for a long time and like her and prefer just one to see when have to go.

I had a dentist and he moved from where he was to a new place and he left and did not like the dentist I got so switched to another and really kept putting off going to see her. That is nice that you have the same next for a long time. I have to go every 6 months because my teeth were not in good shape and now I take care of mine so have to go no matter what is going on.

@LowRiderX Oh, I faint before that, and I have to say after that. I've only drawn blood three times in my life and not to tell you how it went.

@Nevena83 But it is not felt, just a little sting

I don't like going to the dentist at all, but I am not afraid. I hate spending the money though.

I absolutely understand you. I also hate spending money on dentists, which is why I don't go often.

I used to get twice a year checkups but this year had none because of covid. I thought when they got caught up they would call me but they never did. I finally made an appt and it should be soon. This reminds me to call them to find out when it is.

I went to see the dentist for a small appointment a couple of weeks ago. But I wish I could go for a large appointment and have everything over.

Yes, I understand, many are now afraid to go to the dentist, but I think they are more protected there, because I assume that dentists take care of patient protection.

I have not had a dental visit in a while, As a child, I always seemed to have cavities but I was brave and got them fixed when I got older I dreaded the dentist,
