Three Dental Problems that May Indicate Greater Health Issues

I no longer have ANY teeth to decay. After patching them up and spending a lot $$ every time I finally had my fill of tooth aches etc. Worst pain I've ever had. Probably just as bad or worse than a really bad back ache, and I've had more than my share of those too. Last yr the dentist wanted as much to patch me up again as it would cost for surgery and full dentures, so I opted to have them ALL pulled at once. Out patient surgery at the dentist office, 2.5 hrs of my life I don't remember and it was over.

Coming up on a yr with no tooth aches. I lost a whole pant size from the time of the surgery, and until I could eat whole food again. Full dentures suck compared to natural teeth, but I'll take em in trade for no tooth aches.

 

I had braces as a teenager. That was one huge mistake I wish my parents had never made, because I am the one paying for it now! When the orthodontist took the bands off.... he took off bits of my teeth!! The dentist I go to now has been working to repair this mess for YEARS, and they constantly need more work! I know the man is making very little if anything off me. He charged me $50 for a MAJOR filling, and $400 for a root canal and the crown! And I swear I need another $700-800 in work done soon. (I mean, hello, the back molar just crumbled yesterday!)

Navy dentists must be the same dentists that worked on my father when he was incarcerated?? They pulled three teeth, and none of them were the one that was abcessed!
