Dentists :(

I must first put it out there that I have never had a horrible dentist, ever since I can remember I have had wonderful dentist. I just have HORRIBLE teeth, hence my dread to go. For those of you that have never had a cavity in your life...BOO on you! You must have AUH-MAZING gentics, so be very thankful. Oh you didn't know that teeth are genetic, well why wouldn't they be? Duh! Everything else is! :P So I was blessed to inherent my Dad/Grandma Hazel's teeth...the horror. I just pray to the sweet Baby J that our children do not get my teeth. So the back story....my earliest memory of the dentist is getting caps (sealant) on my teeth when I was four or five. Probably around the time I had my first cavity. The worst time I ever had with my teeth was about a year stretch after I got my braces off...I had them on for about 8 years. I had so many cavities it was out of this world. I just cried and cried over it. Why did I get so upset? Because I waterpicked and brushed exactly as I was instructed but to no avail. The worst was I had a crater sized hole in one of my back molars from where the bracket got loose but they never fixed it...you suck Dr. Anderson! :P And the nurse had the nerve to try and give me guff that I must not have waterpicked like I was suppose to. Dear Nurse Lady, how would waterpicking more regularly prevent a cavity from forming on the side of my tooth if your bracket was secured properly?? Thanks! Needless to say I'm bitter over the whole thing. And do you know why I had braces...an UNDERBITE!?!?! Okay so there is my little rant. Needless to say I had some mad fillings as a result, I'm talking HUGE silver fillings which apparently is WAY behind the times. Five crowns, two root canals and Lord knows how many fillings later I learn this out...and unfortantly when I say crowns I do not mean tiaras. :( When I moved up here three years ago I had to find a dentist STAT because one of those pesky silver fillings wasn't doing its job and I ended up with root canal #2 and crown #5...SWEET! The good news is I love my dentist! He has super sweet technology and he explains everything to me and shows me all these awesome pics (which are kinda gross sometimes) and xrays and stuff. I feel like I know whats going on. After that crown and replacing one silver filling I haven't needed any new work. I've had great check ups for the past two years. We've just been keeping an eye on all the giant silver fillings in my mouth knowing that they will give out and I will need more work...well today was the day for that news. I'm gonna have to get one refilled and another crown...#6 :( And possibly another filling replaced too. I knew that my streak of good luck with my teeth would eventually run out...at least I'm a pro at this now :p
