Yes, my husband couldn't stand the deep root cleaning and just let all his teeth fall out and has dentures now but had a couple infections along the way and had to have his last 8+ pulled, etc. It wasn't quite the easier way he anticipated :-)

I've been going to the dentist since I was 5 religiously so that isn't hard for me, I actually enjoy making the dentist wince by pretending things don't hurt that do and I'm "fun" too and don't mind waiting, etc. so the dentists love when I come in because I'm a joy to work with.

My new appointment (which I hope is going to work this time!) is for next Friday. I had a mixup and then had to postpone the next reschedule but now I'm pretty sure it's a go and I doubt the weather will get me this time (now watch, there will be a blizzard).
