I just lost my dental insurance that I had with my prior job.   I loved the dentist I was going to but was told the only plan they are a provider of was the one I had with my job.   I called the dental insurance company I was with to be told it was a group dental plan only.

So I will be having four baby teeth pulled on Monday.  I am very nervous about having this dental work done.  I am an Adult of 22 years of age but had four baby teeth that never came out.  Which made the adult teeth come in all crooked.   My parents could not afford to do much with regards to having my teeth taken care of.  The only thing they could afford was the cleanings twice a year.  I was very lucky never to get any cavities.

I have not been to the dentist in over seven years.  I use to go to the dentist regularly before I had a really bad dentist that messed up a root canal and I have not been back since getting that fixed.   I guess I am afraid of dentist because of that experience.

What would do you if you had a good friend with really bad rotten teeth.  I know that it should not bother me if she wants to have rotten teeth.  I swear she must not brush them for them to be so brown.  They are so bad that a few have holes you can see when she smile to big.

I do not like to going to the dentist

I have not been to the dentist in over five years now.   I am not currently having any tooth ache pains but worry about my teeth anyway.  I know I should go to the dentist but I do not like going since I am always scared they are going to hurt me.  I do not like the whole dental office experience.   So just making an appointment for  a cleaning make me upset.  Is there anything I can do to get over this fear.  I know my teeth need at least a cleaning.

Help I have to have two filling

I went to the dentist the other day and was told that I have two cavities.   He wants to do filling for them.  I am scared that I will have to have shoots in order for him to do the fillings.   I am scared of getting shoots and do not have them done unless I have no choice.   Can he do filling with out shoots?

I only have my bottom wisdom teeth

I went to the dentist the other day and was told that I have only my bottom wisdom teeth coming in.  Since the dentist at this time said they have room and not causing any problems to let them come out.  The thing is I have no top wisdom teeth.  Is that normal to get just the bottoms and not the top?

Messed up teeth are giving me the blues.

This is hard for me to write about but would like some advise on what to do.  To start with I am 32 and my teeth are so bad that they hurt I can only eat soft foods because I am afraid to eat anything to hard for fear of braking my teeth.  I know I have no one to blame but myself for he problem that I am now facing.  When I was younger I just did not take good care of my teeth like I should have.  My mom was poor so we did not have much and going to the dentist  was always costly for her.  She told me and my brother that we needed to brush extra well and to floss every day because she could not afford to fix our teeth.

Need a cleaning but scared of going to the dentist.

I know that my teeth has plaque build up on them.  It has been a few years since I have been to the dentist.  Although I know I need to get them clean, I am afraid the dentist is going to hurt me.  How much does it hurt to get your teeth cleaned?  If I have a lot of plaque will it hurt more to have a dentist scrape it off?  Hate to go now I have to please advise me on what kind of pain should I be expecting.
