I didn't go to the dentist for nine years. Then a tooth broke. I went to the dentist, he filled it, it was a front tooth and essentially was a large cavity. That was my first filling of my adult life. I liked him, and went back to get my teeth cleaned. It took two seperate visits to get my teeth cleaned.
I moved and neglected to go to the dentist for 9 years. My Hubby found one near our house that he liked. I sucked it up and went. The cleaning took an hour and there were three cavities. Since then I have gone every six months like a good girl.
My TMJ is under control but cleanings kill my jaw. We use a little block thingy and that helps but it takes a few days for my jaw to stop aching. Much to my husbands annoyance, I have not had a cavity since then. He has had a bunch. He drinks soft drinks every day. I drink a soft drink once a week. Maybe. He is failing to see this connection.
