I’m automatically cautious about any new medicine and *miracle cure* that big pharma comes out with.
Too many unknowns and potential side effects.
And it happens too frequently.
I went through some physical trauma about 20 years ago that I’ve since recovered from but to be blunt, my noggin was affected and I didn’t take care of my teeth for about 3 years.
I lost all except 4 originals...unless you count crowns....
I have about 18 crowns and bridges combined and it all works great.
Did I get lucky?
Some fellow WOP dentist on staten island charged me like 4,000 for 8 front teeth, including the root canals, crowns and bridges...he’s a good guy. I asked him to not make my elderly mother see me without teeth in her lifetime....but I was willing to pay whatever the cost was over time...it was so cheap that I didn’t have to.
People tell me it was very cheap.
BTW, I’m sorry that happened to you. And I look forward to the day both of us get our real teeth back! We can hope! :)
As with many medical drugs remedies, the real difficulty is there is never enough time for truly long range side effects to be observed or eliminated.
“ a psychopath for a dentist who destroyed all my teeth for insurance money”
I had one of those as a child.
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.
You aren't the only one.
It wasn't until about two years after I got out, that a teammate on my softball team, who was a dentist, convinced me to have them fixed. And it was painless....
I hope they grow in the mouth and not the eye socket.
Dental care is soooo expensive. Insurance, if you’re lucky to have any, barely covers anything. Why are their prices so high?
Does it grow teeth everywhere in your body?
I’ve never had a cavity or a dental problem. Still, I heard somewhere that everyone should get a professional cleaning so I went for one, and they stalled on the cleaning and said I ought to have my wisdom teeth removed. The teeth weren’t bothering me, they weren’t misaligned or infected or anything, but the dentist really wanted to take them out. A “preventive measure,” I think. So I went to another dentist, who also wanted my teeth. I declined, and didn’t go to a third dentist, who would have wanted a third set of x-rays and, probably, my wisdom teeth.
Thank heavens doctors aren’t like that...or are they?
...or maybe not. Experts don’t know. Please read our article anyway.
But I’ve seen billboards promising new teeth in one day.
I would hat to have teeth grow in the wrong place. EEEEOOOOOch!
lost all my teeth 15 years ago I fear at b58 years old I wont get a chance to get new teeth.
