I go to my dentists every three months. This time, about two months after my last appointment, I started having a horrible toothache. I scheduled an urgent care appointment with my dentist. He said there was not any evidence of an infection on my last x-rays.  He also didn’t see any cracks in the filling…

I had not had dental care for most of my life. My parents didn’t have dental insurance or money. I was equally in poverty as an adult. I finally was able to improve my circumstances and was able to get to the dentist. As expected, my teeth and gums are a mess. I had two…

I had some dental bonding done years ago on my two front teeth because of an accident. Now, about ten years later the bonding is looking pretty rough so I decided to bite the bullet and get the work redone. My dentist thought doing crowns would be better and did four of them so that…
