Brush your teeth more often

I brush, rinse, and floss every day, just neglected getting professional cleanings

Plus they're all molars so it's hard to clean up back there anyway.

Did you go to one of those national chain dentists that totally take advantage of you? Don't sign anything.That happened to me, said it would cost thousands of dollars and pressured me to sign a contract before leaving, VERY aggressively.

I got the hell out of there, went to a local dentist, and it was like $260. Don't get taken advantage of.

Don't waive dental. Especially if you aren't going to take care of your teeth. It's literally just a few bucks per month.

Everyone get your teeth cleaned. A community college in Orlando does em for $20. The students clean and the professors check their work.

After insurance, my 9 fillings cost me like a grand. It's fucked how expensive it is. Same situation as TC though, I floss, brush twice a day and use listerine mouthwash twice a day. But I moved and didn't get a professional cleaning for like two years.

It sucked because I had to go in twice; left side one day and right side another day. Just a big waste of fucking time.

They gave me the option to do 1 day or 2 days, I figured I'd knock them all out in one day.

Dental hygiene is more genetic than people want to admit so if you got the short end of the stick professional cleanings are your only hope

Yeah I totally woulda done one day, but I guess this place didn't want me with a fully numb mouth

I cared less about the money than I did about the time

I went in May after not going for like 12 years (had a broken tooth and didn't have a choice). It was about $400 but my insurance payed half.

I always find it entertaining that people will buy cars for 25k+, spend 3 grand on vacation, thousands and thousands of dollars on a wedding, hundreds of dollars on play off tickets, but bitch about having to pay for essential healthcare.

What makes it worse in my case is that I have dental insurance, I am just terrified of dentists. I've never actually had a bad experience with one (even when I had my wisdom teeth out, that was more soreness than actual pain), bit it takes a lot for me to force myself to sit in that chair.

I don't know, from what I remember my company's dental plan didn't make financial sense. FWIW if insurance covered 80% these fillings would have cost me $300. So $300 plus the cost of dental insurance for the past 2.5 years, would I really have saved that much compared to $1,300 out of pocket today?

Keep in mind both of my checkup cleanings were only $60 each, I know they would have been free with insurance though.

tl;dr I gambled and lost, but not too bad. I'll get dental insurance going forward though for the free cleanings

Don't worry I agree, it hurts but I recognize that this is a necessary expense.

If it was like $30+ a month then I can see how you can justify it over the 2.5 years but if it's less then you dun goofed

Yeah this is how you end up with expensive ass surgery. It's better to go now and pay what you need to instead of waiting like I did.

haven't been to the dentist for 20 years. i know i have 1 cavity, maybe 2 more. i deal with it by oil pulling and brushing once a day - salt water rinse after - floss twice a week. literally don't need the dentist anymore. oil pulling is saving my mouth and my wallet. get woke and fuck going to the dentist.
