Even if you spend much to buy a good teeth brush and other dental products, but it is still worth. As if you want to plant a tooth, it costs so much. Here it needs at least $1700 to plant a tooth. This is why I pay attention to the dental health. Otherwise it really costs a lot to fix the dental problems at the end.

I learnt from a very young age how important it is to look after your teeth, at school I was badly bullied through having sticking out front teeth, we are lucky in that children do not have to pay for dental treatment, I went to a dental specialist called an orthodontist who straightened my teeth, ever since then I have learnt to take care of my teeth and at 41 my teeth are very very healthy. And getting treatment is also very expensive here too.

I wholly agree with you. Besides that, it seems that dentists do not agree about the needed treatment for a tooth as doctors will for the rest of our body. We have to begin by teaching our children to wash their teeth when they are little.

Here dental care is taught to children in pre school. I think it is very important as not every parent is aware of the importance of brushing well

I agree with you. I've been so lazy going to the dentist and I am paying my laziness. It's really important to take care of our teeth as we take care the other parts of our body!

Hello youless. You are right that we ought to value the dental teeth in the usual time. If not, we will have to pay much more to get our teeth fixed. The most inside tooth of my lower teeth is now having some problem. One side of the wall is ripping off, but I have not been to a dentist yet. This inside tooth is now useless. I am sure that I will have to pay a lot to fix it later on. Take care, youless.

Hi,
Can you tell me is there any other way to cure our teeth problems. Like bleeding gums, loosing of gums. I agree if teeth has loosen, we cannot do anything. But i guess there will be something which the people of before generations has used for their teeth.

Youless, indeed we should always take good care of our precious teeth. Same here, the price of a normal dental visit is already cost lots of money. If you are planning to undergoing a dental cosmetic surgery, to beautify your teeth, then it would cost a fortune. It is really isn't cheap to undergo that type of procedure. I am trying my best to take good care of my teeth. I always make sure to go for a dental check-up once a year, to make sure my teeth are still in good health.

You are dental teeth treatement costs too much. If we want to change our teeth means bad teeth replace with new metal teeth then cost is too much. My sweet and danger husband's two teeth is change with metal teeth. I also do the bursh daily and do the care of my teeth because teeth pain is also danger.

I agree with you. a friend had to have his teeth done and had a lot of expenses that he did not expect. to think that we do not bother as much in caring for our teeth. it really does cost a lot, xrays, check ups, constant cleaning, and all others if you need to have surgery, etc.

In my home country there are National Health Scheme dentists which charge minimal amounts and there are private dentists. I change my toothbrush every three months and clean my teeth with a vegan friendly toothpaste.
Last year one of my teeth was causing me agony. I had a choice of root canal treatment or having the poorly tooth extracted. I decided to have the poorly tooth taken out. Having that done cost more than three hundred pounds.

That is right! It will cost a moon or a star just to have a tooth implant here, the cost of dental care is outrageously high other than just health care cost, it is just a reality we have to deal with as long as we live, the dental professional and dental care industry are determined not to be left out of this lucrative market normally associated with health care bandwagon. If you don't spend substantial amount on your dental care products, once your teeth go bad, it will cost you much more to get a new one.

You are so right,the toothache is annoying and fake teeth will never as good as original ones,bad teeth will affect your appetite and even your stomach health,so preventing is more important than curing,we should well protect our teeth!

like they say, prevention is better than cure.
it is always better to take care of your teeth in the first place. rather than having it repaired or replaced in the future. even brushing may damage it if the proper way is not followed.
but alas! it is easier said than done. haha. i know my teeth are terribly deteriorating. but i still do not take care of them enough.

I agree my mom is having this problem .I have seen her suffering and crying. Oh no i cant bear such thing. I am very afraid of this pain.
Yes it costs a lot. When doctor told us how much the tooth costs (she dont have the molars )we were like . we didn't expect that. I think normal man like for whom it is difficult to earn one meal per day .It will be very difficult to pay such amount.

Too bad for me, I realized this when I have few teeth that needs attention. Although I still have more to be saved which is what I've been working now. I've been brushing my teeth patiently like taking more time to clean them, then gargle with mouthwash. Sometimes I brush my teeth with table salt also before brushing with toothpaste. My granny taught me that it can make the teeth whiter and free from bad breath.

yes, proect our teeth is necessary. we need our teeth to chew something, right? dental product is not enough and we should pay more attention on what we eat and when shall we brush our teeth. It is quite important to clean our teeth before sleep. I have no more money on teeth problem. haha, so I should learn to protect my teeth first. thanks.
