Thanks Jo! Yea... I was just getting a crown, so it was more of a cosmetic thing. I've been wearing a temporary one for about two weeks and I wasn't supposed to go back until Nov 11, but the real one came in early and they called me so I decided to go early and get it over with...  But... I'm all better now and I can smile real purty!  ;D |

I am a bit apprehensive about taking my oldest because he is autistic and HATES getting his teeth brushed. That's so odd, 2 people also have autistic relatives! My brother is also autistic, but he's extremely high functioning, and works at an airport (he's an airplane guy  I actually enjoy going to the dentist, get's me away from school, hehe MMG |

*narrows eyes* You're strange! You've obviously either never had any painful work done at the dentist or.... you LIKE pain!  hehe |

I've never had any bad experiences with the dentist... the most painful was getting my teeth whitened with the UVA light... it really hurt.  |

Well, you guys are young. You know... I never even went to a dentist for ANYTHING until I was 20!  Never had any tooth pain or cavities. Went for my first checkup when I was 20, got a tooth filled and... bam... the darn thing broke off went I was eating and I had to get a crown! Same thing happened to the other side too... I was FINE until I went to the stupid dentist! |

My best friend has already had a ROOT CANAL. She had it years ago, when she was a lot younger. I thought that was crazy. She's really upset about getting her wisdom teeth out, now, though. Hehehehehe, I don't have ANY wisdom teeth... so I wouldn't know. My brother had five... I don't know why I was so lucky. |

I was FINE until I went to the stupid dentist! I beat you! I was 27 for my first dental work, 4 impacted wisdom teeth! I had them out under general anaesthetic. Then I had my kids and kaboom my teeth basically are shot now. Nothing compares to an abscess with a dead nerve like I had a few months ago. posterior Back ache labour felt better! |

Me, you might ask.
I've been going to the dentist since I can remember, so I beat no one's record  . I've had two cavities and one pulled. I'm getting braces next year, and all I have to say about that is: AAAAAHHHHH!!

Eww... braces. I had those. Good Luck. I had mine for three years. Got them when I was 10 and I got them off when I was 13, it was a little over 3 years. My cousin is 19 (almost 20) and got hers in middle school... she still has them. But she had some major tooth problems. I hope this isn't scaring you... ! Think of it this way- the sooner it happens, the sooner you have pretty, straight teeth. It's totally worth it. Before my braces, I could stick a whole toothpick between my two front teeth. |

Yep, braces are totally worth it! I never had them. I have naturally straight teeth, but both my daughters had them and now their teeth are gorgeous! Oooh Jo.. *cringe* that sounds absolutely horrifying! Elyse, don't laugh too hard yet... you just haven't had them come in yet, but unless you're a miracle child... they WILL! Mine didn't even start to come in until my early twentys. Sure enough, they got impacted and had to be pulled! Not.... fun! |

Also it happened on the weekend! And the dentist office wasn't answering. Luckly we knew a relitive and he rang some numbers including the dentists mother And they guy drove out at 6.30 pm Sunday night to do my tooth and didn't charge extra. I have never been so happy to open my mouth for the dentist! |
