Well, I do. I really really REALLY hate the dentist. They cost too much. I have insurance but what they cover is a joke. Anyway, my mouth is a mess. :yawn:
I've had some pretty bad experiences with the dentist. From getting my gums sliced with only a numbing spray put on (yeah, I think I left hand prints on the chair grips) to- getting a nasty infection after wisdom teeth pulled, swelled so bad I had to go to the ER...then finding out that he didn't even get the whole root out. argh. Then I've had cavaties as long as I can remember. I dont know if I am just prone to it or what. So here I am 2 root canals later (one costing me about 2000 b/c it had gotten so bad) and I still need another but at this point I really don't care. It's just sad b/c I actually have pretty straight teeth.
Last summer I was diagnosed with GRaves Disease. (hyperthyroid) Since then or about that time, I've had these freaking bleeding gums. Just on my right side. I've flossed, gurgled....I have the sonic care...nothing helps. COuld it be gingivitis ? I was thinking too it could be from me always chewing on that side b/c of my bad tooth on the left side so it's make the right side sensitive.

I've also noticed that my top front teeth (the 2 front) seem a little transparent around the edges. What is this from? I have used a tooth whitener once and that was 3 yrs ago.

Thanks guys!
April
