Mommy, my teeth came out!

I am not a dentist fanatic...I don't fancy them at all... Anyways, I don't go to the dentist nor my kids...We just drink medicine for toothaches and let the teeth fall off whenever...It grows back for kids..I always imply to them to brush their teeth though..

I have only had one bad dentist in my life and I got rid of him. I have Delta Dental, so I do not worry about anything. Another thing, call 1-800-Dentist.

I haven't been to see a dentist for 20 years. The last time I went, the enamel had come off the back of one of my front bottom teeth, and the dentist tried a few times to get the filling and enamel to stay. But it never did. Since then, the tooth has gotten worse, and I just know a dentist will want to pull it. So I have avoided making an appointment. Go ahead, call me a big wimp....I can take it. LOL

Oh my bighead, I was a graduate of Dental Medicine and naturally, I am very much aware of my dental hygiene. I can't understand what you are saying here though. Your nephew's 8 decidous teeth were extracted all at the SAME TIME??? There is a rule in tooth extraction as well as injecting anesthesia. I'm confused. We don't have dental taxes here. Neither do we have the privilege of getting free dental services. I am a stickler of keeping my teeth as good as it can be. Its quite costly to avail of any dental services nowadays. I only hop in for my twice a year oral prophylaxis (teeth cleaning).

I avoided the Dentist like the plague! I had not visited one since I was in High School. I know bad, however I never had a toothache during that time either. Only now that we have moved to the USA, and my husband has dental insurance for my son and I, we decided to make the most of it and get our teeth checked. I'm happy to say that mine wasn't too bad - had a good clean, a few fillings and thats it! Unlike my husband, hmmm his was worse than mine and had to have serious work done on them. Now we are scheduled every 6 months (I think or more) to visit with the dentist. I have yet to get my son checked but will now that we know of his heart condition and what needs to be done before he has any dentistry work.

Why would extracting 8 teeth at 1 time cost less than extracting 1 tooth at a time? And are you kidding? 8 teeth?? Is he going to grow up toothless? How can something like this happen??

I visit my dentist at least once a year for a general check up. I´ve got a dental insurance, where certain things are for free and for others a percentage has to be paid. I rather pay a small amount every month than a huge one if I´ve got to have some complicated dental work done. For me, the worst thing of a dentists visit is the sound of the drill. I put up with it, because there are so many diseases that can derive from teeth in a bad state.

Poor him. I feel his pain. I haven't seen the dentist forever and I will as soon as I can this year.

we don't have dental taxes here in quebec, I don't go to the dentist because I cannot afford it, but as of July I will go because I will get it free. I should have gone since 2000 but just did not have the money.

I don't afraid the dentist but i don't like go to doctors anyway.I have long time I didn't go to dentist and lucky me I haven't any toothache as long as i remember.I hope my luck fallow me because as I say i don't like doctors plus the dentist is always very expensive..

i didnt have any serious ploblems with my teeth so far after the milk teeth came off and permanent teeth grew back. i make sure to brush my teeth once a week with a small peice of branch from neem tree so that i can keep away from a dentist.

lol even my nephew was suffering from same and was not ready to visit dentist second time after he got one of this teeth out from his mouth. Yes, dentist are too costly here in India too. I visit dentist twice in a year or if there is a big party then get my teeth clean. I haven't had any kind of toothache yet. yes, I also fear dentist drill always. My dentist is a very sweet lady and she is very talkative. She is kind of helping and understanding lolz. I'm not going to marry her hehehehe. But yes, she is quite adorable.

Why didn't she simply wait for the teeth to fall out by themselves, lol :P. And here you have to pay for health insurance by default, this includes some dental costs like regular checkup. I must say though it has been quite a while already since I went, but I don't have any toothaches so it's not like it's in a rush. So far never had a cavity anyways and whenever trying to call for a date I can go the dentist has an appointment anyways.

I'm a dental student and my emphasis will be in pediatric dentistry. I hope my young patients would feel comfortable with me. There is no reason to fear the drill if the anesthesia is properly administered

I hate toothache (as it's the worst pain of all) and I hate going to the dentist, either. I usually visit the dentist when I have a problem with my tooth/teeth. I hate it when he drills my teeth! I know this is not good practice (to not visit the dentist regularly), but I'm quite lucky to be blessed with nice teeth. Dental manipulation is very expensive here in the US. Good thing I have a dental plan, I would be able to pay for the fees, especially when I needed to have prophylaxis. Happy myLotting!

Ouch,eight at one go? That hurts.I am weary of visiting a dentist.The thought of someone digging into my mouth makes me uncomfortable .A nightmare in dreams is better than 'living' a nightmare.But if I have a toothache ,I will drop my inhibition.It's better to overcome the discomfort rather than being left toothless at an early age.

Hello,whyaskq,I have not been to the dentists for long time,may be more than few years,I think if i was to the dentists, they would ask me to clean my teeth.I always think it is painful,may be it was due to the experience i had when I was a child. Also I am afraid th dentist will tell me I have toothe dacay and need to take my tooth off.

I know quit all right that teeth problem is not a small problem,so i prefer the prevention principle than the cure one.Anyway i have not been to the dentist before but i mind eating too much of sugary.

i didn't have a toothache,but my mother and father used to have a toothache,they didn,t see the dentist,they used Chinese traditional medicine to cure tootache.the medicine is good,and spend little money to cure tootache.in my country go to hospital,and see a doctor should spend much money,as a farmer,cann't take so much money to see doctor.

we should definitely visit a dentist, if there is any problem with tooth thou there is fear of dentist drill.we have to maintain the tooth without it getting decayed or causing any problem.Till now i have not visited any Dentist. Thank God,Hope in futher also i dont visit them.
