the dentist

[swedge]

though i should finally get round to seeing the dentist

i have hypodontia, for those that dont know

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypodontia

its genetic and has been passed from my gran to my mum then to me and my bro

in short its where your big teeth dont ever appear and your left with milk teeth which arent very strong

just had the last of them pulled out and im left with 8 teeth on the top and 6 on the bottom and look like a right hillbilly, had my impressions today so new teeth soon :)

my dads cousin has the same sickening illness





lol you getting the new ones all drilled in to your jaw :o savage stuff they get up in the dentist

[swedge]

nah too expensive lol, just normal dentures but not full ones

these clip to my other teeth so "hopefully" dont fall out

can you imagine goin down on a bird and your teeth falling out hahahahaha

I didn't realise there was a name for it. I had to have one of my teeth pulled out a couple of years ago as there was no adult tooth underneath.

[swedge]

yep there is, its usually hereditary most of my family have it

mines is actually oligodontia due to me having only 12 adult teeth, the rest were milk teeth

fcuking hate the dentist, you always come out of there with a empty wallet lol

[swedge]

yeah its not the cheapest but i hate my teeth, even more so with them pulled out lol

[troy88]

I heard you one that one, went for a checkup this morning, was in there about six minutes and they relieved me of £17.50 for it, gotta go back on friday for a scale and polish and then got three extractions due aswell :cry:

Can't beat the crunch noise when thier pulling it out lol

Had problems with 2 of my rear molars once my wisdom teeth arrived, ended up having 2 molars removed and 1 got cracked so now have another molar which had to have a root canal and a filling and in 5 months a crown.

Also cracked my front tooth when I was younger and have to have that replaced and cleaned every 8 month - 12 month.
Finally got around to having my impressions done the other day for my teeth whitening kit. £299 later lol.

I used to be really scared of dentist when younger but I've realised a fuller smile makes all the difference in life to your confidence.

Oh... My dentist bills over the last month - £600+

Also didn't know there was a name for it. I had 6 adult teeth missing. Still got a baby tooth at the front. Last time I went to a dentist they said I needed train tracks and bridges. Didn't fancy that so never went back. That was 16 years ago lol

[turbojolt]

you cant trust dentists one tried telling my old man he needed 10 fillings, he went off to another dentist and they said he had no cavities at all!!

the day i go back will be when i need something pulling out.

[swedge]

Don't you get NHS dentists in englandshire?

[Edd]

Yes, but in mine and probably many others experiences your better off paying to have it done correctly

Some nigerian that speaks no english with a pair of long nose pliers in hand dont exactly fill you with confidence lol

[turbojolt]

lmfao that made me laugh so hard a tear came out lol

[swedge]

well the dentist i go to is a foreigner, hes only dutch though so not too bad hes pretty sound

he is an NHS dentist and also a private, to get all my teeth that need removed impressions and the new dentures fitted will cost me no more than £350
