I wouldn't have any if I hadn't gone back to a dentist when I did. As it was, I still had to have a couple pulled because they were rotted beyond saving, but they were just chewin' teeth, not anything important!

After the drilling experience, I figured how bad could a toothache be? That train of thought lasted right up until a few years ago too, when I got my first REAL toothache! 32 years of dental neglect has taken its toll, but I'm getting back on track now.

I went to the dentist pretty regularly for a few years until I started traveling all the time. Always got the same story. im not brushing right, im not flossing enough. last time I told him if I wanted lectured, I would call mom.

I was in the same boat Chaikwa.. Mom and dad never had insurance when I was a kid and dental care wasn't the highest on the list.. I was about 16 before I started going the one.. By then it was too late for 2 of them (chewin teeth) Now I go every 6 months. There is nothing NOTHING worse than a toothache

This guy's pretty decent. No lectures. Doesn't ask if I'm doing everything I should. Just cleans, takes my money and tells me he'll see me next time.

I was kind of in the opposite boat from you! I had good dental care all my life until mom and dad both got second jobs and I was left to my own devices. I still could have gone, in fact mom thought I WAS going! Amazing what you can get away with when your parents are away from 6 in the AM until midnite or later!

And I can think of one thing worse than a toothache... 2 toothaches!

My doc is the same way.. Very friendly and painless

Nothing more embarrassing than someone lecturing you about your teeth.

I agree. I knew I had found the right guy when he was taking my initial history when I first started going to him. He asked if I smoked, I said yes, a pipe, and he said, "Oh. Cool!" And that was it!

such is life... alot of things that people worry about and stress over doesn't matter. If you dont know if your getting dinner tonight, going to the dentist isn't gonna matter. Your either going to work or hunting or fishing.
