Oh oopps! UPDATE: I did NOT have 2 teeth pulled. Lol. They ended up doing a root canal on my pre-molar and I'll have the wisdom extracted. Guess I could'a said that sooner. Lol

Basics, some baby teeth had to be pulled, all 4 wisdom teeth, cleanings, cavities. The biggest was when I was about 11 I decided kissing the bottom of the pool would be a good idea. Broke my top two teeth in half.

Spent the next six years ... more
Oh my! You know, that's the SAME way mine broke out! When I was 7, that's exactly how mine broke! Lol. How strange! I was actually messing around playing with my nephew who was only a baby then and when I went under to tug on his legs while he was in his floatie, I smacked my chin against the bottom and out came my tooth! So weird how our injuries were so similar. Lol. Thankfully though, I only broke one and it was taken care of within days and I've lasted this long with it. I couldn't imagine the mess you had to go through over it though. My partner was screwing around in high school and broke out pieces of both top teeth and it's been hell for him and he's about to b 24 now! He had the bondo stuff come out a few years ago.

I've had braces, and to get those, I needed 4 teeth pulled. Got them done all at once, and got guilt-tripped into being part of a choir concert while I was still on the meds. Passed out while performing...
I've also had my wisdom teeth removed last summer.

I have had teeth pulled and root canals done. Personally I don't like the dentist, but I am sure you will do just fine.

We were low income when I was a kid and for the most part didn't really get proper dental care. Couldn't afford to go to the dentist until or unless it really hurt. Rather than the more costly repair, more often the tooth was pulled and sometimes my dad did it himself with pliers. As an adult I've now invested in multiple bridges, lots of crowns and an implant. I've only got seven natural teeth that are not capped or bridged.
I've had more than one bad experience with a dentist, thankfully I've found a dentist I like enough, I've taken my son.
