I have a seven year old daughter with a cavity. I know it needs to be treated. I am aware of what will happen if I don’t. The big problem is that she is the most obstinate, uncooperative child you have ever met when it comes to seeing a dentist. Have you ever had a […]
Read More...I’m in my early twenties and just got my first cavity and my first ever filling. She offered me the choice between amalgam and composite fillings. She said amalgam has been around longer. I still opted for the composite because I liked the idea of the white color, but now I am wondering if I […]
Read More...I need some advice. I brush my daughter’s teeth every day, yet all of her molars have decay. She doesn’t cooperate with the dentist and I don’t know what to do. One of them looks like almost half the structure is gone. Do I do fillings? Crowns? Maybe it doesn’t matter because they’re baby teeth, […]
Read More...I had a molar break. It is not the wisdom tooth, but the one in front of it. I was short on money so put off going to the dentist. Plus, if I am being completely honest, then I will admit I’m not the best dental patient. This happened a week and a half ago. […]
Read More...I need some advice and think I should take some legal action here. I don’t have a regular dentist because of some dental anxiety I have and the fact that I am new to the area. I had a pretty bad toothache in tooth #19 according to a chart I looked up online. It was […]
Read More...I’m so upset. I grew up in a poor family that could not afford dental care. It was a long time into my own adulthood before I could afford to see a dentist, but I’ve finally been able to get a college degree and a good job. I’m in my 40s and the first thing […]
Read More...My mom is in her 80s and has not taken care of herself in recent years. I’ve moved her in with me and noticed that she has been wincing when she eats. I asked her about it and she insists it is fine, that is it always like that. When I asked her how long […]
Read More...I’ve taken my son to the dentist twice, but he just won’t sit still. Both times my dentist said, “We’ll have to try again next time.” So for both appointments, which they did discount for me, he’s not actually been evaluated. I don’t know what to do, especially since he now is complaining that one […]
Read More...I need some advice. I have two teeth that hurt so badly that I cannot even eat anymore. I am in absolute agony. I know you are going to tell me to go to the dentist but I am absolutely terrified of them. Even just thinking about going makes me almost throw up, which I […]
Read More...I had a terrible toothache and went to the dentist, even though I hate going to the dentist (no offense). He told me I had an infected wisdom tooth and I need to see a specialist. In the meantime, he provided me with some pain medication and antibiotics. I had just finished the antibiotics when […]
