Tooth trouble?!
Question: Tooth trouble!?
I have a fear of the dentist!. I had a cleaning and was told of several problems that he said needed to be addressed very soon!. I am in no pain and my teeth look good ( white, straight, non missing, ect)!. If you had this fear would you go and put yourself in pain to have work done on teeth that are not hurting!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is the number one mistake people make about their teeth!. If you ignore the problem it will not go away, it will only get worse!. I understand it is hard to get work done on your teeth especially when it doesn't hurt!. But, just because it doens't hurt doesn't mean there isn't a problem!. For some reason people think that a cavity will hurt or they will know when there is a problem with a tooth!. Not true at all! A cavity sometimes never hurts or will only start hurting once it reaches your nerve!. Then you will need a root canal!. I like to tell people teeth problems are something like blood pressure or high cholesterol!. You do not "feel" that you have high blood pressure or cholesterol untill it's too late with a stroke or heart attack!.!.!.!.!.same thing with teeth!. If you have nice looking teeth and you want to keep them that way, follow your dentists advice!. Also one of the most important things to keep up on dental maintanence so you don't need a lot of dental work at once is keep up on dental cleanings every 6 months!. Then you may only have 1 or 2 things to do in a year instead of several at once!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Small problems don't hurt!. Small problems in the mouth don't hurt!. When they get big, then it'll hurt!. Take care of small problems and you'll save time and money!.
A filling (lets say 2 surface in the back) can cost 220 dollars!. With an 20% copay, you pay 44 dollars (assuming you have delta or some private insurance)!. 1 appointment!.
If you piss on the filling and wait for it to hurt!. Deep cavity!. We're looking at a root canal treatment - 550 dollars easy!. Plus a crown for the tooth because the top has been obliterated by the decay another 800!. $1350 at least and 3 appointments minimum! With a 50% copay, you pay $675 as opposed to 44 dollars!.
Want it pulled out!? Ok, 100 dollars for non surgical extraction, 200 if it's a difficult tooth to pull out!. Now your teeth next to the extracted tooth will shift and move!. The opposing tooth will also drop down because nothing is opposing it!. Now the way you chew, the way you talk, and the way you look will be affected!.
After a few years you don't like the space!. Want an implant!? Easily 3000 dollars all out of your pocket which can take half a year to complete!. Want a 3 unit bridge!? Well that 2400 dollars with a 50% copay of 1200 dollars and 2 dental visits minimum!.

Listen to your dentist!!! If you don't then you might have worse problems later on! Believe me, this is why your dentist went to school for so many years, he knows best! Fix the minor problems now so that they don't get major!. Believe me, minor dental work doesn't hurt near as bad a major dental work!. Get it done and then make sure to brush with an electric toothbrush and floss everyday and eat properly and you shouldn't have too many other problems with your teeth!. The dentist only wants to help you!. I know you are scared but it really isn't all that bad if you are only getting minor work done!. Do it now or you will really regret it later when your teeth really start to hurt and you are having really big troubles!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should get it done sooner rather than later!. if you leave it you might need twice as much doing, and it could cost a serious amount and toothache is one of the worst pains you could ever experience!. if you are that scared ask your dentist or doctor about having the work done under anasthetic!. thats what i did when i had my wisdom teeth out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes because just because it doesn't feel like it you could have abcess and if you don't get a regular check up for someone to tell you that you have that it will only get worst and if it bursts and get in your system you will die in your sleep
Basically you go to the dentist for checkups BEFORE something bad happens!. Trust me I'm learning the hard way!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should go because then they can decay and I don't think you want to have rotting teeth(eventually) or go toothless!. Ask about them putting you under anesthesia since you are so scared!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
hmmmmm in all honesty no because i am just as scared!. I cant bring myself to go until i really have got toothache!. i am a coward!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
