I just came back from the dentist. I had been stressing about the appointment since I do drink a lot of soda and eat candy and tic tacs and my brushing and flossing needs to be worked on. Plus I was having pain. The hygienst and dentist just say I have some gum inflamattion and 2 not big deal cavities that need to be fixed before they do actually become an issue. I have some white spots on my front teeth so she prescribed a prescription toothpaste. Mainly the pain I'm having is from the clenching I'm doing and they say each time I see them they can make me a splint. I just have to find $500. My mom says she doesn't get how I do it and how I never have anything majorly wrong when I go to the dentist. I've never had a root canal. I've never needed a crown. I was concerned with my tic tac fiasco during the summer. I like how honest this practice is. Its not a medicaid or medicare dentist so they are very honest with you and don't lie and say you have a lot of stuff wrong so they can get paid more. Plus the people are really nice and its painless.
