    If I get pain or can feel a cavity then yeah, I'll go.

    Otherwise, fuck no.

    Go to the dentist you silly duffer!

    Prevention is better than care

    Man, my teeth are fine. My wisdom teeth even came through with zero problems and no pain.

    Here's the thing though. You have no idea what is happening below your gum line or in your teeth themselves. You are going to wait until any kind of infection/cavity/whatever hits your nerve endings before you do anything about it?

    This is a supremely stupid course of action man

    My dentist is awesome. Dentists are not the devil. Bad dentists are. Just like bad anything else.

    I've only been to a dentist twice since I graduated from high school back in '06, since that's when I lost my dental insurance. One of those trips was to get about half of my molars removed for various cavities and cracks and what not.

    I'm like genetically disposed for my teeth to be horrible. Both my parents took real good care of their teeth and they still ended up with dentures by the time they were around 50.

    the one part of me that's in good shape is my teeth

    i've never had a cavity

    unfortunately, when i'm asleep i grind my teeth incredibly hard, and since moving out on my own i no longer have anyone to wake me up while it's happening

    so i'm going to be losing those nice teeth before i'm forty probably oops

    I get to be called doctor and work with people and my hands AND my brain and I get paid good money and the hours are reasonable as compared to other types of doctors (no emergency calls 5am on a Sunday) and there is a lot of opportunity to eventually have my own practice (goes well with my finance degree)

    My brother got a tooth punched out the other week a bar. Some dude king hit and snapped out a front tooth. Luckily it's been covered by a thing the governor does called victims of crime which is pretty good, but still

    I would never want to be any kind of doctor or person that works that close to people.

    People are gross. Fiddling around inside someone's mouth and digging all the gunk out sounds like a horrible time.

    Now I've started grinding down the mouthguard instead

    So last week I went to the dentist for the first time in sixteen months or so. I finally have dental insurance thanks to me job, so I got a chance to get my teeth cleaned.

    I enjoy trips to the dentist.

    But I also enjoy pain, so getting jabbed and such in my mouth is an exciting endeavor.

    So since visiting the dentist I have been flossing and using mouth-wash at least once a day.

    I am hopeful I can keep this up.

    Although my mild-addiction to soda is going to really test me...

    Going to the dentist in about an hour and a half! before my cleaning in December it had been about 12 years since I went. While my teeth themselves are fine, except for a couple old fillings which are being re-done today, my gums were totally fucked up. Plaque buildup under the gum line, the first stages of gum disease. They said they caught it early enough and got it cleaned up so I shouldn't have any problems, but I need to make sure I go in for regular cleanings now.

    So remember kids, make sure to floss! You don't want to see your dentist or dental assistant scraping off big pieces of tarter that feels like old dry rubber cement in your mouth. My mouth has felt so much better since the cleaning too.

    Nah, a sucker punch is a quick snap while they're not looking. You can king hit someone right to their face, if their reactions are slow enough.

    Also, did this happen in Cott, or on site?

    I brush and take pretty good care of my teeth, but we didn't have dental insurance growing up and to date I've had to have two root canals. They aren't that bad really.

    My dentist is excellent and I wouldn't trade him for anything. And I would drive up to and including 4 hours just to go see him as opposed to someone else.

    He did my only root canal and i swear I had no idea he was even working yet I felt so little, and then next thing you know "ok you're done". I didn't even feel the novocain needle. He's good. Real good.

    My current dentist flirts with my teeth. It's the best, she's sweet.

    Last appointment she had a student shadowing her for the day. The student also began flirting with my teeth.

    Never had a cavity, basically the poster-boy for fluoride in drinking water and electronic toothbrushes and flossing on the regular.

    No, because you see, fluoride in the drinking water is how the government is trying to control your mind, man.

    I'm going tomorrow. Bleh.

    They always nag me to floss, and at this point I'm just like "nah dog, that ain't happening." I figure they appreciate me being upfront with my utter non-compliance, but I don't really care. Just polish and check for cavities and let me go, please.
