Why aren’t we growing new teeth in petri dishes in 2022? We’ve cloned whole animals. Root canals, crowns and even metal implants are BARBARIC!

[ShaBella]

Yes this is true. I had the worst tooth pain in my right molar which already had a filling + crown. I had to get a root canal through the crown and it was not fun. I am holding myself accountable and will be diligent to make sure this doesn't happen again!

[dzikijohnny]

I had one that was very old and loose. It was enough decay that I had to have a root canal. Funny story. I was at the VA in Minneapolis and it was 20 below and every other patient canceled so I had the root canal done with 20 minutes wait. The Endodontists had no patients. I got a cleaning done the same day.

In my opinion, the crowned bridges are trashes, especially the silver metal ones. Dont let any dentist talk you into getting a bridge when you have one missing tooth on the back. You'll end up losing the two good teeth that they crowned. Money grabbing industry stunned me. If I had some dental knowledge back then. I would do a root canal for the back tooth. Listening to their advice was a mistake. They pulled the tooth that had a hole and put on a bridge. They grinded two good teeth in order to fit the bridge. At the end, I lost the tooth that they crowned due to bacteria got in under the crown. And I had go do the root canal on another tooth that they crowned. So instead possibly just do a root canal in one bad tooth and not have a missing tooth. I ended up missing two teeth and had a root canal on the tooth they crowned.

I literally HATE teeth. Why is it the only thing we were created with that doesnt repair itself. like wtf

[rer]

Feeling defeated after thousands and thousands of dollars of restoration work, brushing, flossing, water flossing only to find out today that I need three extractions, two root canals and four crowns. Considering having everything ripped out at this point. I'm doing everything that I'm supposed to be doing but I keep getting hit with bad news.

I’ve been deathly afraid of the cleaning procedure for years - decided to try it again and my new RDH is awesome. I took your advice and was honest about my fears, my gag reflex and she made the procedure super comfortable, I was almost in tears of joy because I’ve always wanted to take better care of my teeth, I told her about your channel and how your advice helped me. She sold me a 2 part mouth wash called Oracare for my gums - what’s your thoughts on this product?

I went through breast cancer. In DV marriage then he abandoned me in another state. I shut down for 3 years. Terrified to leave the house. Couldn't go to dentist. Went today and there sending me to a specialist to see if they can even save them. There are cavities below the gum line and weak broken teeth.
I'm so upset. I lost my family's lives to a criminal gone through cancer my teeth have been slowly falling apart. I'm scared to death as I always am.

[timthefatman]

Hey Witney your the best how are you doing today I want you to be my dentist because mine took some of my tooth off and it really really hurt ☹️ but have a great day 🦷🦷

[ratdude]

Unfortunately, I’m screwed in the dental department. I floss 2x/day and brush before bed. Yet my gums keep receding farther and farther down. I go to the dentist every 6 months, yet I’m told I’m losing bone. Guess I’ll need a few gum grafts in a few years.

[matthewcain]

Fuck the medical and dental industry..

[casperyall]

I think I’m just going to get all my teeth pulled, My dentist retired after working on my mouth..

[jeanellrueda-makila]

Now I know why my crown is lose I find out 1 of my tooth have infected already, today my dentist removed it, hopefully after healing finally put back my crown tooth

[VodkaChan_]

i just finished my 4 wisdom teeth removal last two months. i had one month of freedom with my teeth and just recently i woke up and my silver tooth started hurting badly. it’s wiggly and i can no longer eat AGAIN!
this crown is like 10 years old

[kimberlyc]

I've been going for my biannual visits and last time, there was a small cavity and I was also put on a periodontal plan after a deep cleaning.
I went yesterday for 3 month checkup & the probed pockets went from 2s & 3s to 4s & 5s AND she then mentions that there is a cavity underneath a crown that I've had.
She asked if I was doing anything different. I said I'm brushing more and I'm flossing more. Then she tells me oh you're not getting deep into the pockets enough. I told her when I was doing that before you told me I was going too deep! Make up your friggin' mind!

It doesn't seem to matter what I do, I'm always going to be doing something wrong. I feel so stupid.

I said why wasn't anything said before? You've taken x-rays for 2 years!
She tells me that this was noted in 2021...ummm... I've only been coming since 2022... Unfortunately, it's time to find someone else who will possibly not scam me.
It's like I can't win for losing.

I understand that there is decay under the crown, but how could I have come for three cleanings, two sets of x-rays, and only now 2 years later I'm told that something's a problem? And she just did a filling on the tooth on the lower molar, but didn't say anything about having a cavity under the crown on the upper molar?

This, unfortunately, is why people don't visit medical professionals.
It's like a big joke and then you're made to feel like an idiot.

[wankingman]

My dentist said that I had a deep cavity that's close to the nerve. She didn't drill further and advised that I should get a filling instead of a root canal done as I'm not experiencing any pain. Do you think leaving some decay in instances like this is acceptable?

[francheskashope]

My crown was defective. Dentist wanted to redo it but I was pregnant by that point (kept complaining about pain and sesitivity). I did not wanted to take the oral injections, especially during the first trimester.

[faithmcdowell]

It fell out dentist is closed and its is decayed underneath what to do ?

[icanonlysingu]

How often do dentists misplace a crown, permanently cement it and then have to remove it to put a new one on. They did that and now the sensitivity is insane and I need a root canal. It's been two months and the pain in unbearable.

[aussiecoastie]

I had a gold crown fitted to a molar, only to develop decay under the crown less then two years later ! The crown was already around $2, 000 … then that wanted to do root canal therapy on the tooth for around $3, 000 more ! So after careful thought … I just cut my looses and had the bloody thing pulled . I have a very expensive keep sake … a waste of time and money
