Just went to the dentist after 6 years...

I haven't been to dentist for 9 years, I eat vegan and drink distilled water. I wash out my mouth with water after eating or drinking soda. I don't eat hard sticky candy. Also because I don't drink milk my body doesn't pull calcium from my bones to neutralise the acidity of cow milk so if I ever had a cavity it has likely grown back.

Another thing, my friend had a filling that messed up the nerves in his spine and has had running problems for 4 years because of that filling which he is having to pay a lot of money now to remove.

I recently went to the dentist for the first time in 7 years. No cavities but he said I had gum problems and insisted I have a deep clean, which was unpleasant.

I then went to see a specialist and he was like, “Nah, you are good. Just stop brushing your teeth so hard.”

...all the while saying it would be the easiest cleaning all day...no bleeding, no pain, nothing. Then they do 17 xrays!! and the dentist finds like 10 cavities between teeth.....while looking at the xray...and I can't see what they are talking about.

I've had about 10 cavities in my life, but every time I can see what it is on the xray.

You probably have some decay. Basically it is like you have 10 dents in your car. Most mechanics would say it isn't a problem, this guy wasn't to buff them all out. My dentist will say she is watching some cavities but won't actually fix them.

The one thing you can do without going to the dentist is to rinse with some warm salt water before bed if you have some pain. In addition, recent studies have said that untreated oral infections lead often to heart and other ailments.

Just to be clear, other ailments include death. If you have pain, see a dentist as soon as you can.

Bumped old thread and OP is long dead probably. But you can't keep your teeth clean long-term with brushing and flossing. You need them to use that scraper thing because crap will slowly build up that can't be brushed or flossed off.

And a cavity can form under that crust of hardened crap, and you won't see it because to you it looks just like tooth enamel.

Gum disease has to get pretty bad before it leads to things like bleeding.

The hygienist is more or less like a professional who steam cleans your carpet. Brushing and flossing is a dirt devil with baking soda.

Never eat sugar.

Go get a second opinion.

I had a similar experience at a dentist. Went to another and voila. Cavities magically gone. Lol.

"LOL. Have been surfing the net for some dental care clinics reviews when I found this thread. Don't fear the 'Rona, you seem more concerned about racism and sexism than about your dental health.

Anyways, guys I have to tell you that I am a heavy smoker. I've been smoking since I was a 13 yo boy. About my dental health I didn't give a shoot my entire life. One day, I started to feel some kind of pain while I was eating, I did not pay much attention to that since I won't pay a penny for any kind of cool teeth brushing at clinics. I delayed the dentist appointment for weeks, till one day I woke up with severe pain that I swear I could feel already in my brain. My wife Cindy, was panicking, since I was in pain, I couldn't eat or sleep. She started to call all our friends and family members to inquire about some good and affordable clinics, since I wasn't ready to pay a ton of money. Somehow she found a clinic not so far away from our house. Damn, that guy is a magician. I had nine cavities, Lord, nineeeee! Thank to the doctors I not anymore in pain. Still smoking , never planning on quitting ! Just being more attentive to my dental health. I guess it was
