Dentist vent

I made an appointment for Drew to go to the dentist today because he's been complaining of a tooth bothering him.  I figured he had a cavity.

He doesn't.  In fact, the dentist said his teeth are perfect.  The man who hasn't had a cleaning in over 3 years, only brushes his teeth once a day, never flosses, drinks so much sugary soda, and chews.  He's the one with the perfect teeth.

Meanwhile, I brush religiously twice a day and try to floss often.  I have a mouth littered with cavities.  The dentist just said I probably have soft teeth so they just get cavities.  Stupid!  He's lucky he still has teeth in his mouth and I haven't smacked them out of him because of how much he's been smirking at me today!!  Stick out tongue

Re: Dentist vent

  • I have soft teeth too, you look at me the wrong way and I get a cavity. People with strong teeth (like my dh, too) make me so mad and jealous.

    Bastards and their good teeth...

  • I read somewhere that some people have something in their saliva that either prevents or causes more cavities (I can not remember which way it goes). I have never had a cavity (knock on wood, because I have not been to the dentist in over 3 years), but I am a good girl and brush twice a day.

    Ben  has been to the dentist twice since we have been together and the first time he had 2 cavities. I started making him brush his teeth twice a day and he went back and had none. His dentist actually came out and hugged me for that.

    I heart Ben!!

  • I think it might be something that causes it.  When the hygenist was cleaning his teeth, she had to use a special machine to get the tartar off.  She said it was really bad!  I asked her what causes it and she said saliva.  She also said that there's nothing to do to prevent it or slow it, just regular cleanings.

  • I've only had 2 cavities and both were in places that I couldn't reach with anything to prevent since my teeth are so tightly together because I have a small mouth (loud but small).

    DH brushes his teeth maybe once a day and has only had a couple cavities.  He goes to the dentist maybe once a year too.  I wish he took better care of his teeth since both his mom and dad have had to have lots of dental work in the past couple years because of the same bad habits, smoking, lots of coffee, and alcohol.
