Man, we both are in the same exact situation, literaly.

I've been getting so much of my teeth up to par and I've also used up all my insurance.
I have to wait till next year to get the rest done.
One of which being a bridge built.....thats gonna cost some money.

ive been doing the same thing except WITHOUT insurance. Ive had 5 dental appts since august. one broken tooth that i didnt have insurance on to get fixed when it first happened now has to have a root canal or extraction. We easily spent over 1000k just since august.

One million dollars???

I used to not brush my teeth enough and consumed waaay to much sugar, already paying and I'm only 17 🙁

Have started brushing twice a day and mouthwash, just to make sure it doesn't get any worse.

Thank God I live in the UK, and I'm still in full time education, no bills whatsoever until I start paying taxes, works to get it all done now.

I reckon we should genetically modify humans to grow new teeth.

Didn't you know sugar was bad for you?

Flossing would've saved me many cavities, as almost all of mine were 'tweeners 🙁

I had a bunch of work done this summer. My normal dentist said I needed crowns, in order to get a nicer looking set of front teeth. Said it was the only way. 725 bucks each, I wanted to spruce up five teeth.

I ended up going to a dentist in canada, who was recomended by family. He suggested cosmetic bonding.

Long story short, he did the five teeth, redid three old fillings, all with white composite for 839 bucks. It was a long drive, and I spent four and a half hours in the chair, but I am happy. 🙂

If you have any concerns about your dentist, there isn't anything wrong with a second opinion. Once you get a crown, you're stuck with it. They grind the hell out of the tooth, so there isn't much left. Crowns should only be done as a last resort.

I had 15 years between dentist vists andonly probs with my wisdom teeth got me back there.

had to have a couple fillings but other than that no probs and my dental care is sporadic to say the least.
