Ok, ok, looking through my toiletries to find my floss I’ve used about twice in years…\

Good luck Luis!

Oh, wow Makes you wonder how many honest dentists there are out there who have your best interests at heart, rather than their own financial gain.

Either that, or they’re completely inexperienced! Even more of a concern.

Glad yours turned out for the best

I’ve actually had a fifth opinion about my teeth. When I young a boy threw a hard ball at my mouth, it hit my lower jaw and caused damage to an adult tooth that was growing under my gum. When I was a teenager I went to four dentists and surgeons seeking advice, they quoted from $4000 to $9000 to fix it. Then a friend referred me to her brother who was a dentist, he said to wait, that the tooth would right itself, and costly/painful surgery could be avoided. He was right.

Accurate sign.

Not sure people are made fully aware of how important gums are to oral health. From a young age we’re told to brush properly, but how many children floss? I can’t remember the first time I did.

Gah! Good on you for getting another opinion. I really should have listened to Rich earlier :/

Are you doing anything about the sore fillings?

Sue! Do not put it off any longer. *waggles finger*

Also, teeth falling out dreams usually mean death, change, rebirth etc. But only when you’re not already concerned about your teeth

Hope all goes well with your pegs!

Sign at my dentist’s office:
Teeth don’t fall out, gums drop them.

@Viennah I deffo need the root canal. No missing that one. had about 4 dentists tell me in last 10 years not to mention the evidence screaming at me from x-rays.

Pffft one tiny car crash smacking head into steering wheel………..I am less traumatised by the fact I broke my neck than I am by having a yellow / deaded front tooth and needing that kind of dental work

I think this can also work both ways, recently, I had a dentist tell me I needed all three remaining wisdom teeth out, at least one root canal, and redid three fillings for me. In total the quote came to $5008.00.

A month and a half later, I’ve had one wisdom tooth out, the fillings she did are hurting and the other dentist can’t imagine why I would need the other wisdom teeth out much less a root canal. Revised bill? $1500.
Second opinions count. Trust your instinct.

Oh.My.God.

Between you and @Bel………and only this week I had a dream mine all fell out (I hate that dream).

I have been WAY better at flossing etc since her “Tooth” episode……….

but……..booking in to dentist tomorrow. Not to mention I am going to get my shit together and get the damned root canal on front tooth I have been avoiding.

This is like…………….my god the SECOND HORROR tooth story I have heard in about a month…………

Oh.My.God.
