Many repairs and extractions later.

Since the beginning of all those appointments for x-rays, extractions, repairing cavities...i still have some appointments to do.

May 1st is an appointment with my dentist, Dr. Lorange, to repair a cavity on my repaining lower-right molar, and i have to take another appointment to adjust the partial denture i have, there's a side that hurt when i push my tongue on, and it's not very comfortable when i chew with it.

So after all the extractions and repairs, i'm still here, but i'm sick (as in "tired") of going to the dentist, at the next appointment, i'm going to ask him what's this small black spot on the filling on my deepest lower left molar, if it's normal or not. I don't think cavity can affect a filling, it would be really weird if you ask me.

But all in all, it's been ok

Sometimes it does feel like a never ending cycle of dental visits and feeling like things aren't improving and that as soon as one thing is sorted something else crops up. When I feel like this I just think well the treatment done is less to be done and without it things would be so much worse.

It will be worth it in the end, and one day you will get the phase we all want to hear, SEE YOU IN 6 MONTHS, but until then keep going.

Best wishes to you, you will get there one day

Sounds like you are doing well with all your dental work, and that is a good thing to read about.

all the teeth work seem to be done for now, the dentist told me to come back soobn for a deep cleaning, he said once per 6 months is good for a deep cleaning, now i wonder if he's just saying that to get more money from me, i know some are a little pushy to make you spend more, even if they're already so damn rich...i guess this is why there are so many dentists around my location, it's a job where you make tons of money.

But yeah, my next "paid" deep cleaning would be in October i believe, but since all that started in August 2012, i'm brushing my teeth more often, at least once per day.

I made an appointment once with a dentist to look a tooth that was hurting and I asked about teeth cleaning and he said they only clean the bottom teeth since they take the brunt of things! Weird huh!! I like his way of thinking...LOLI personally think Once a year for DEEP cleaning and once a year for check up and xrays!!is enough as long as you practice good oral hygiene at home..But I have a huge dental phobia!

it can seem never ending, I have to go 5 more times to get fillings done, and my first one is next Thursday and i'm only going once a month as that is all I can cope with at this time. I brush after every meal so at least 3 sometimes 4 times a day as I want to keep my teeth and go once a year for a cleaning as that is all I am covered for. I see a dental hygienist now and it took her 1 1/2 hours to do my teeth, I hadn't been in two years, I wish she hadn't taken soo long as I thought I was never getting out of that chair! Tammy
