I hate my teeth... And Dentists in general...

[paintbattler]

One time I had five cavities. Well I went to the dentist to fill them and you know how they put the numbing stuff on it? Well for about 12 hours I could not talk or taste my food. I hated so now I take care of my teeth.

Novocaine, it usually only lasts 3 or 4 hours for me, but i've never had more that 2 or 3 fillings at a time.

Now that I'm sitting here, I wonder if a filling fell out of my back right molar cause the hole is fairly large and I think I would have noticed before.

One more thing I hate about my dentist is he dosn't use the nitrous my old dentist used to give it to me for just a filling or when he was gluing my other front tooth back on(I broke it roller blading when I was a kid, and it's fell off many times since then ).

dude...ya gotta at least brush twice a day and floss daily (I don't always have time to floss, but I've found twice a week works). Also try a whitening product like Crest white strips. Your teeth are the first thing people see when they meet you.

I never forget the time (in my single days) when I saw this HOT guy..but when he looked at me and smiled, I was like OMG his teeth were NASTY!!

Also, saw a dude at the dentist once that had a golf-ball-sized mound on the side of his jaw, because he didn't get to the dentist right away for an abcess. The denstists were all talking about how it exploded when they started working on it....eeiewww!!!

Nitrous oxide comes with alot of liability. Thats probably why alot of dentists don't use it.

Also sugar, candies and sodas between meals drasticly increases your risk of caries.

I would have to evaluate your dietary habits to find out why your teeth are so succeptable to decay. Alot of people don't realize that your diet, medications, and oral habits have alot to do with tooth decay.

Answer me these questions.

Do you have dry mouth, do you take any medications that cause dry mouth?

On average how much sugar or sugar containing products do you consume between meals?

What are your hygenine habits like... How LONG do you brush?

Ha ha. My teeth have been perfect for the last 5 years. No cavities at all!

Back when I was in HS I had a few cavities. The doc had headphones to listen to a few different stations. One was Cosby doing stand-up. Man it's hard to have your teeth worked on while you're cracking up at the Jell-o Pudding King.

I just listen to the tv, I usually try to put something on that' not too funny cause usually when I start laughing it's hard to stop. And the mor eI try not to, the harder I laugh.
