I've always hated going to the dentist even for the 6 monthly cleaning. About 4 years ago i kept putting off an appointment and never rescheduled, and soon enough the dentist i went to packed up and went elsewhere leaving me without one, which i thought was alright. But as time went on i didn't really take care of my teeth as properly and i've began to notice tooth decay around the top part of the 2 front teeth and a dark hole in the inside of the top "fang" tooth (pardon myself i don't know the dentist lingo).
This worried me greatly and i was afraid to smile and talk a lot in public. It was only recently i did something about it and visited a new dentist. Like i said i hate having ym teeth looked at etc and another worry was them judging me. Fact is, a lot of people hate dentist and most dentists and hygienists work with dental phobia patients, they want to accommodate them best they can. They didn't even judge me or go, "EWW GROSS WTF!" trust me they all seen worse and i'm gald i went in the time i did cause they might've had to do some root canals.
Long story short my top first 6 teeth are now crowns, they had to remove all the decay and make sure it was good and gone, and good thing was my gums where healthy. So now i have my permanent crowns in and they look great. Needless to stay i'm on top of a daily brushing/flossing routine and you don't' want that to happen, cause it'll only hurt more later and the cost might be high.. i think we are having to pay around $6,000 for the whole thing cause crowns cost a butt load. But i'm happy with them, i'm not afraid to smile and feel very confident and healthy. Also the new dentist rocks, the whole office is nice and knows my name already, i don't even know all of theirs but its nice to be in a friendly dental environment.
Back at topic at hand, about 3 of my wisdom teeth have surfaced and the 4th is still inside the gums so it feels kind of weird. They don't bother me at all but the dentist said it is probably best to remove them for future health cause they're harder to clean and what not. So i'm not happy thinking about them being removed sometime so i'm trying my best to keep them clean.. i dunno how they take these out just thinking about makes me cringe.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
