Dental tape, huh. Hm that looks interesting! I am def going to try that and also the plackers. A water pic looks neat but it also expensive. It does sound useful tho!
I just recently went to the dentist. I haven’t been in a while, the last time was when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out- and I went just for that reason. At the time the dentist didn’t say anything to me about my teeth so I figured I was ok. Well Dh wanted to go get a cleaning, it was like 39.99 for exam, xray and cleaning. We made an apt and went. I knew I was in bad shape bc of the tarter, and also I could see my gums were a little red. This dentist told me I have Gum Disease, a big cavity that needs a root canal, and all this other bad stuff. He made me feel my freakin teeth were going to fall out of my mouth!! He didn’t even clean my teeth!! He then gave me a bill of $4,950!!!
I was so upset, I went home crying! Dh told me not to worry about it we will get a 2nd opinion. Well we were lucky enough to have a friend Carlos have a dentist friend. Carlo’s whole family goes to this dentist in Newport Beach ( for those that do not know, this is a really ritzy area by the beach) Carlos said that he can call him and see if he will examine me.
The dentist said not a problem, I made an apt. He began to tell me I wasn’t in that bad of a shape and the previous dentist said. He said I def need a cleaning and he wants to take care of that cavity. He also said he doesn’t think he will need to do a root canal. I asked him if can give me a quote, and he said not to worry I know your DH is in construction and we can trade for him doing work at my house. Man what a relief! He cleaned my teeth and took care of the cavity, he filled it with the same color stuff as my teeth… not sure what its called.. compound?
He said my gums were already looking better. He said I have a couple small fillings he wants to take care of but he gave me a 6 month time period. This guy is amazing! He was so nice and thoughtful, the staff were so nice and understanding! I went in feeling insecure, but they really made me feel better. He also gave me this kit to get my gums healthy again. Its
60 Count Box along with a spray I spray on my gums!
It is amazing how good my gums look! They are perfect pink, all flat an healthy!! I am so thankful, and blessed to have had that done! I sent him a Thank you card as well. Dh is going to his house on Sat to look at the work he wants done. I think I will tag along so I can how him how good my gums look!!
