Too late for me unfortunately. I’ve had about 10 root canals and I have well over a dozen caps and crowns. They work great and I have no complaints about them but everytime you have to get one its a lot of discomfort and a few thousand dollars. I seem to get a surprise dental bill of $2-3 thousand dollars every year or two. By this point I have very few real teeth left. Horrible teeth run in my family. Thank god for modern dentistry.
I’ve been going to the dentist since I was 6,. Lots of cavities because I always detested milk, which got a barf alert from me since I was a baby. We lived in a suburb and every week I climbed on the train to go to Chicago to see a fab dentist there. He “saved my teeth’” for $$$$$ for many years. When I got married and moved to TX, dentists there all said they couldn’t do work that good. But they did the best they could.
That was decades ago. I go to the best dentist in Spokane, just paid him $1500 to “save my teeth” again, and I think he did. I’m lucky to have a single fang in my face at this point. (Cat owner, we always talk about fangs.)
