Mainly because I hate being told that I have the teeth of an old woman and because there's always something wrong. My teeth don't hurt. How can something be wrong? ;) I want your dentist.

Bad experiences as a kid. Had 2 fillings replaced yesterday tho, and it wasn't that bad. W/ago, more clausterphobic I think :)<br /><br />Great blog and content :) I'm glad I visited today.

I had a couple traumatizing experiences when I was a kid and they've stuck with me. Last time I visited a dentist was, at least, 5 years ago. My excuse is no $$ and no dental insurance...I'm not sure what to do when I can actually afford to go. I hate dentists.

I had braces, but now my teeth are bucked, crooked, stained and my split has returned.<br /><br />When my children got braces, I asked if I was a candidate. I would do it again. I was told just to get veneers. With a daughter in college, that isn't in the budget.<br /><br />I still smile a lot, always feeling awful.<br /><br />There, now we have shared the stories of our mouths.

I still smile a lot, always feeling awful.

I mean, I understand the whole "I have better teeth than my dentist" thing, but still. Ugh. I'm so grossed out right now!! <br /><br />Oh, and I think we got the pull one, get one free deal too. I actually had two rows of teeth as a child. I'm not kidding. They had to pull 11 of them to make room for the braces and headgear I wore. I had regular visits with my orthodontist for 9 years. Yes, I said NINE years. I should probably go back since, some time in the past 15 years I lost my retainers, so now my bottoms look just as terrible as they did when I was 8, but ... well, I'm just fine with that. I've had enough oral torture for this lifetime. This is disgusting. I mean, I understand the whole “I have better teeth than my dentist” thing, but still. Ugh. I’m so grossed out right now!!

I did go a couple of years ago - before that it had been 15 years and I'm not even kidding - and the good old guy said everything looked fine. I figure I'm good for another 15 now.<br /><br />Now my kids - I make them go. I make sure they brush and take care of their pearly whites - I'm just hoping they're not noticing that I never go. It's a "do as I say not as I do" thing, ya know? I had major dental trauma as a child, too, so now I simply choose not to go.

Love my children's dentist and my husband loves his, but me, I AIN'T going unless I have too!<br /><br />Besides, I hate going AND paying such high prices for the services even after insurance. <br /><br />I probably would TRY to go more, if I didn't have to leave an arm and leg at the financial director's office.
