I would rather do any...I HATE going to the dentist. I would rather do anything other than that! I FEEEEEL your pain, from the dental sticker shock to the argument with Robert. When it comes right down to it, though, what else are you going to do? You have to fix them...they'll only get worse!<br /><br />But yeah: get a second opinion. Many dentists do fillings when they aren't really needed.<br /><br />GOOD LUCK!!!Amy Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607827000379087741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221880184013909808.post-72947850070171521452010-03-02T22:20:54.801-07:002010-03-02T22:20:54.801-07:00Karla I'm right there with you...however I was...Karla I'm right there with you...however I was at the dentist just 3 years ago...which is still a LONG time, but I have horrible teeth. I have some that need crowns...some that need root canals...and some that just need help :) A couple are broken and sharp...but the price for dental work is PATHETIC...I agree that I'd rather just have them fall out or get false teeth. I'd be ok with that too!!! I guess I just see it as my kids need more medical and dental and other help then I do!! I can deal with the annoying teeth issues and problems...they have a lot longer to live!! Good luck on your decision...and hope it all goes okay!!! Some dentists just want the money and do a crappy job on them...(like the root canal that is breaking apart in my mouth)...UGH...I'm right there with you though!!

I was expecting four fillings a couple of weeks ago, but a different dentist started to do the work (they are in the same office--a scheduling issue got me the other guy) and said I only needed one. PLUS, I'm pretty sure that if you needed a root canal, you would know it. They hurt like the dickins--cold and heat sensitivity like nuts.<br /><br />If you want my more conservative Dentist's information, I'm glad to pass it on.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647971644707936384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221880184013909808.post-7692950173984880962010-03-02T18:59:55.178-07:002010-03-02T18:59:55.178-07:00OH MAN! Reading this has me freaked out BIG TIME!...OH MAN! Reading this has me freaked out BIG TIME! If you thought you hadn't been to the dentist forever I have you beat-- by a long shot. I haven't been to one since Morgan was 3 MONTHS old. Hmmm... so that'd make it about 9 years since I've been. SCARY!! I can't imagine how many teeth are needing something. Now it makes me REALLY not want to find out! Good luck!! That doesn't sound fun at all. If I was you I WOULD get a second opinion, though-- I've heard dentists can really rip you off.** Adrian **https://www.blogger.com/profile/04443857894731964962noreply@blogger.com
