I have one of those permanent retainers. T...Jewda,<br />I have one of those permanent retainers. Thanks for bringing it up. Now I'm going to play with it till the tip of my tongue is raw. I hate thinking about that stupid thing because I can't leave it alone. I couldn't imagine having anything in my mouth pierced. I'd go insane.<br /><br />Candy,<br />I totally know the details on dental heath and heart disease. I also know the details on how much dental insurance cost and what our bills are. In 10 years this is the first time we've had insurance. Cleanings and exams are covered 100% now, so I am trying to be a good boy and start back to my regular dental appointments.<br /><br />I will say this cavity is the fault of the last appointment I had. This cavity was there and the dentist opted to sandblast and seal it because it was so small. The insurance I had at the time didn't cover that procedure and when I found that out after the fact the dentist said "well we recommend what is best for the patient not what is best for the insurance." Anyways, it seems now that their procedure that was best for the patient wasn't actually. had they done what the insurance would have covered I wouldn't have had this problem.Nick the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494956043889392219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-69152560040599072572009-06-11T11:25:49.916-07:002009-06-11T11:25:49.916-07:00TEN YEARS???
I'd say you deserved that cavity...<b><i>TEN YEARS???</i></b><br /><br />I'd say you deserved that cavity, but that would be mean. Every 6 months, Nick. Fluoride. Cleaning. It's the law. Would you like info on the relationship between dental health and heart disease, or would you prefer to google that one yourself? Because in all honesty, I have patients who are your age.<br /><br />I also had the "tooth root in the sinus thing" which was cured with pulling it (last resort) and NOSE HOSING. Turbulence and friction required.<br /><br />Are dental procedures the original source for the expression "beating to a bloody pulp?"<br /><br />And I thought Helen's jokes were awesome.Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906584712170733253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-56320202439078005122009-06-11T10:55:26.423-07:002009-06-11T10:55:26.423-07:00I got the chills as soon as the drill started at t...I got the chills as soon as the drill started at the end of that clip, and I'm still a little worked up. What a horrible sound! I haven't been to the dentist in 7 years so far, and I'm hoping to never go back. The only cavity I have is from their mishandling of a permanent retainer they put in after braces anyway, so I'm liking my chances of not causing any problems on my own.Jeff Selphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127894356503326650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-90808621718212861322009-06-11T08:46:00.298-07:002009-06-11T08:46:00.298-07:00jasonS,

It's actually pretty funny and ends with the surgeon not finding any stitches when I went for my followup appointment. The dentist was actually pretty cool about the time frame. All things considered I did take pretty good care of my teeth in that time. I will say the main reason I didn't go for so long is a lack of insurance and money. Still don't have money but we do have insurance.<br /><br />clarkitect,<br />That is so evil and wrong.
