Missouri...in the middle of the United States.
It can take weeks to get into a dentist office here...high prices because there is a mild shortage of dentists.They go through several years of school like doctors as well.

4 extractions with a bridge removal.

You got all that done in one visit?!!

The dentist never bothered me before, but I had one bad experience and now I hate going. But I still do it every 6 months.

You might consider getting a water sample from your facet checked for chemicals.

Another molar broke yesterday..about two third of the tooth is gone...most of it flush.
Pain is coming on quick since this evening..I have an appointment in a few days..I am going to try again to have all the lowers pulled.
No sense in getting a partial that hook into teeth the break....Looks like I will be arguing with the dentist about my own teeth.
I know he is trying to be professional and follow the "oath" by not removing good teeth...Fact is they are not good regardless of what x rays say..they are brittle and I can see actual small cracks on some of them
Uppers are still good as far{have not been breaking}..its very odd.

Sounds nasty.

Since teeth are largely calcium, maybe you ought to get a bone scan to make sure the problem isn't spreading into your skeletal system?


Good luck with the dentist.
