the dentist sends me an email and then I go in there and agree with the dentist about obama ruining america and a lady with several (?) children scrapes my teeth

one filling and a clean about 3 months ago.

I was pretty happy with that, considering I hadn't been in about 4 years.

My wife had like 13 fillings though and she takes better care of her teeth than I do, what a loving scrub, she must shovel fistfuls of sugar into her mouth when I'm not looking.

maybe for them to just look at your teeth and then schedule an expensive followup appointment if they have to actually do anything

That's hosed up. She might be brushing too hard or something. That was my problem which resulted in some minor heat/cold sensitivity, but since I eased up it's gone away on its own. She might also have dry mouth which is pretty bad for teeth too.

thats for a cleaning jabrone, if you need fillings obviously its gonna cost more but you also get a big discount for paying in real money and not insurance claim money

there was a goon who played eve online so much all his teeth fell out and then he begged for tooth money on here, Hollis brown

You can get a really good toothpaste called sensodyne to fix teeth

yeah I felt sorry for her, getting the numbing needles into the gum gives you a pretty sore jaw for a few days, and she had that done on all 4 sides lol.

think she's got something similar to sensodyne now so i guess we'll see how it goes.

Like 4 months ago. Calculus build up because I didn't floss enough. First time at the dentist in 10 years so if that was all I had I'm pretty stoked. It was expensive as gently caress, but pretty worth it as my mouth felt much better. Got a waterpik now.
