Or, like me, suffer the consequences. I had a filling let go a while back, but, due to poor planning and kids having to go first, I put off going to the dentist. Now, constant pain with moments of sheer agony. I have to be very careful of the foods I eat, as anything that gets stuck between the bad teeth really aggravates it. I’m trying to get an appointment on Thursday, but may have to wait till next week. This could really turn out to be an awesome week. I’m really looking forward to it.
Not Really.
Update! I now have one less tooth. And boy, am I uncomfortable. All I have is ibuprofen and maybe a bit of whiskey later tonight to take the edge off. So remember, take care of your teethies!

When I was a kid I didn’t take care of my teeth. Ate nothing but candy and soda. Then I got older and became an alcoholic who dipped and fought. Now sober, but still have 13 porcalin teeth to remind me of my past mistakes.

Same here. I haven’t gone since I was 10 (17 years ago) and had a chipped back tooth from biting an unpopped popcorn kernel.
Long story short, occasionally in the 5 years between then and now food would bug it but more importantly, the tooth would come “unseated” and it took a few days to get it right.
Back in june, i woke up with a swollen jaw and aching tooth. Went to my doctor hoping some antibiotics would fix it and wound up having emergency surgery to drain the pus and remove the tooth.
I’m law enforcement. I go toe to toe with hardcore drug running gangsters (DEA antinarcotics trafficking and infiltration group, inner city Dayton SWAT, private security contractor (like blackwater, without the court cases) in iraq and Afghanistan. I’m brave, fearless, or dumb - or a combination of the 3. I turned into a gigantic candyass in that dentist chair that day. He even said i was the most scared and anxious patient he ever had.
Don’t ignore it

There is nothing I hate more than the dentist. I’m a full on shaking, crying breakdown in the chair. Had a bad experience with a dentist whose name - seriously- was Dr. Payne, in the couple months or so before I graduated from college. Basically one of those guys who finds imaginary cavities just so he can drill holes and make more money. Funny how all of his fillings leaked and created MORE cavities beneath them within 5 years. Now I know better but the damage is done.

Well, we learn as we get older. It always kills me everytime I see a 5 year old kid sucking down a 20 oz. bottle of Mountain Dew and what that does to their teeth. Luckily, my kids haven’t developed my bad habit of drinking too much pop (sorry, soda). Their teeth have been cavity free. Time to suck it up.
PS, Caddy’s are still cooler than Oldsmobiles. ;)

If I had a time machine, I wouldn't do anything glamorous with it... I'd go back to childhood me and make him brush his teeth

Not to sound too much like a public service announcement, but this is no joke. I work at a dental school, and see this all the time. You really don’t want to neglect your teeth. And unfortunately, most insurance plans suck when it comes to dental care, making it harder to stay on top of things.

Literally EVERY dental insurance plan sucks. Even the most expensive plan offered at my company only covers like 30% of the cost of dental surgeries. If it’s anything but the 6 month interval cleanings, you’re screwed.

I need to show this to my kids. But maybe without the Marathon Man picture. I’ve always wanted to be a dentist so I could walk into the exam room and say, “Is it safe?”

Yep. I'm so glad to have lots of friends on faculty at a dental school and get a faculty discount. Out of pocket prices are murder.
