I’m 22 and have 2 missing bottom molars and one that’s ready to go, completely rotted and broken in my mouth. I went to the dentist to have the remaining roots of one of my missing broken molars removed only to find that the tooth next to it was now infected. So I had to pay $1000 WITH my insurance that I pay for out of pocket bc my job doesn’t offer any, and I didn’t even have the tooth extracted yet, going back Monday! After that happens I have two implants and another root canal to look forward to, and that’s just the cavities that I’m aware of. I have decided that I have wasted too much of my life letting my poor teeth bring me down, which has only really been the past few years as my parents stopped having me go to the dentist when I was in high school. I wish I knew then how important it was. If you’re still young reading this and have insurance coverage of any kind please explain to your parents why it is so important. My missing teeth have greatly affected my confidence, quality of life and overall health. I have decided that i am giving this to the Father and laying it at his feet, by his stripes we are healed! Praying for a miracle for all of us

Definitely doing for my kids what my parents didn't. My kids are 13 and 8 neither have ever had a cavity. I'm 32 and still dealing with teeth issues from my childhood. There's really no reversing that many years

Thank you Sami. Biggest problem is no work, so no income to pay a dentist if they are even working during Covid.

1. Stay away from candy
2. Drink a lot of water
3. Brush and floss twice a day
4. Invest in an electric toothbrush
5. Get your cleanings done regularly (minimum of 6 months)

And make sure you're getting vitamin C.

Here is my true experience with dentist. I had absolutely no problems with my teeth. No cavities, no gum problems, no bleeding, etc... I was 45 and I had recevied free dental insurance with my employer at the time. I went in, I figured I was 45 and should at least get them checked. It was free, right? He suggested, that since I hadn't been to the dentist in 30 years, I should have my teeth planed (?). I guess that was deep cleaning. I agreed, not really understanding why, but it was free with my insurance, so why not? Soon afterwards, I started having problems with my teeth. Problems I never had before. My gums were receding. No gingervitis. Next thing I knew, I had my first cavity, then two, and two extractions because supposedly within a few short months of cleaning, they were too bad to save. Since then I've had a total of six teeth pulled, in the last 5 years. I went my whole life without any dental problems. And that "free" check up ended up costing me my teeth. I still have problems with receding gums and I'm told I will have to have two top molars removed. I would suggest to anyone who isn't having any problems with their teeth to stay away from dentist. I've been to several in the last few years and my problem has only go worse.

Man am in so much decided to only drink water for the rest of my life

One thing these dentists won't tell you is that treatments are expensive as hell. And the older you are the less your insurance will approve. I was told it would cost $1500 for a filling, when a google search said it should cost no more than $450. I got prescribed antibiotics because the pain from the cavity was preventing me from getting a root canal on another tooth. I had to be sent home. It's been 3 weeks and the antibiotics were of no help. As you can see, I am here now.

Our mouth health is constantly changing because of what we eat changes in our health and how well we take care of our teeth and gums. But the most important thing to remember is that preventing dental cavity is in your hands. - Dr. Lisa Germain

How do you give someone dislikes when he trying to help you? Like smh these kind of people!

[kathleenturner]

I do oil pulling and brush my teeth twice a day! I also floss! I'm 76 and haven't been to a dentist since I retired 12 yrs. ago!

Pov: you just found a cavity in your tooth and you're shocked watching this.

I have autism and find it very hard to maintain the health of my teeth, in terms of brushing. I had an anxiety attack around half an hour ago, because I’ve just noticed I have a tooth that is now beginning to rot, it has a large hole in it and is a very dark brown. The rest of my teeth are yellow, and full with small holes, and I am terrified. I am so upset with myself that it’s gotten this bad, and I keep questioning why it’s so hard for me to do simple tasks like brushing my teeth.

Going to the dentist is very overstimulating for me, and I always have bad panic attacks. I know I need to go to my dentist to have my teeth fixed, but I’m just so scared.
This video really helped me to calm my nerves, at least for now, and I’m going to brave it and book an appointment with my local dentist. 🤞

After suffering for 8years with constant toothache I finally booked myself in and this is what’s needing done:
2x root canal
6x composite edge bondings
2x posterior composite fillings
1x extensive mouth refresh and polish
1x boutique whitening!
Wish me luck
(£4000 for all it🥵)

I lost one tooth because of my stupidity. I’m taking care of my teeth now. I reduced my sugar intake. Used electric toothbrush, floss my teeth everyday. Brush my teeth 3x a day. 😭

Not every tooth cavity is also caused by caries! There are other reasons, such as a fracture of the top layer of the tooth due to teeth grinding or external impact. Also, small cavities should rather not be filled and should be observed. Because sometimes much more tooth substance is removed by drilling than by the small hole. Last but not least: Sometimes tooth decay can be stopped or starved out. The damage of the (small) hole remains but it does not progress. So not every hole necessarily needs to be drilled and filled.

I have a cavity and this really helped thank you so much.
