Really want to go to dentist , but not due

Hey guys ,

So I'm itching to have a check up , I only went in May and all was good , I had one sealant on a tooth that had a small amount of decay and a deep perio clean .

But I really do think I have a cavity , my probe sticks slightly in my back tooth and another looks like it has tiny black dots in the surface .

I kinda want to go to another dentist in the interim to see what they say , but don't want my other dentist to be upset with me , I don't have pain , maybe a slight niggle here and there .

Also I have a 20 year old amalgam I want replacing but dentist said to leave it until it needs it or it could cause un necessary stress on my tooth .

I really want to just go to the dentist every week and lay there having my mouth filled with tools and being talked about to dental assistant lol

If you shop around for a dentist who will do whatever you want, you will find someone who will cater to your whims and end up with unnecessary work. You will also pay a high BIOLOGICAL price for your foolishness.

I'm sorry ? I thought this was a fetish site ? I didn't expect to come here and be judged and suggested that I'm foolish ? I thought it was a safe place to indulge kinky thoughts and ideas . Of course I'm not stupid and wanting work done I don't need done as I'm sure many here do things that they probably shouldn't do too often too . Such hostile posts just make me think this isn't the accepting community I thought it was .

No idea why your responses to people are usually so salty and snippy . I regret posting now .

Your fetish shouldn't have a negative impact on your health.

Go ahead and do whatever you want.

It's a shame you didn't read my first post properly before assuming I wanted to do that then .

Just as I wouldn't with anyone else here despite being alarmed by some of the interests people have on here .

In Canada if you want to see a dentist, you just play hockey.

The missing incisors is a sign of valor and a veteran player.

WTF! Some of the responses people get on here amaze me. If I were Paris I think I'd be insulted as well. If you have nothing constructive to say then don't. What gives you the right?!

I didn't gather there was any intention here other than sharing a thought and expressing oneself. Someplace where they feel welcome to do so.

Lesson learned Dr M . Onwards and upwards 😃 lets all Hug

Agreed! Next subject :-)

There's no harm in getting a second opinion. It's not like the other dentist will talk to your current dentist about your visit.

You mentioned you had a periodontal cleaning. Are you on a three or four month recall schedule? I go four times a year to maintain my periodontal health. Twice to my dentist, twice to a dental school. My case only involves minimal bone loss and hasn't required scaling and root planing in many years so I haven't been referred to a periodontist. The dental school visits are very enjoyable, average appointment time is four hours. It helps get that itch for chair time satisfied while taking care of a need.

Hey Bob , I just seem to need a deep clean every 6 month on the bottom , I get one side done each apt , so I guess it's a full clean every year in total , I have one tooth that seems to always need to be really cleaned down the sides , usually end up pretty sore after , i get numbed for it thankfully lol

This is a problem for me. I'm still pretty young and have many of my fillings done and redone multiple times. I've probably had each tooth filled 5 times. The only crown I have is due to a cracked molar I suffered so really the only downside is the filling just gets slightly deeper, and none of my teeth have been crowned yet due to the unnecessary work. Sometimes a cleaning just isn't thrilling enough for me and I need the drill.

Keep NOT flossing properly and brushing thoroughly and you'll get the drill a lot!

There is no reason for as you say, a young guy to have had every tooth filled five times.

5 fillings PER tooth.. in your 20s??? Yowza!! Growing up in the US that is practically child abuse!

No matter what your fetish is, you do NOT want to create problems with your teeth! In my 'old' age, observing others, you do NOT want problems with your teeth, feet or neck muscles. You have no idea how problems with any of those will RUIN your quality of life! Those areas are mostly neglected and taken for granted, but if they go 'bad' you are in for a world of pain/suffering/inconvenience for 10, 20, 30+ years!

Get your teeth (and body) checked 100% professionally, and find some other simulation for your kinks with a 'play ' dr/dentist. NEVER sacrifice your true health for a kink!

@ DrO's post and comments. So I don't think is so far out. Besides I suspect is just an expression of feelings rather than 'precisely each tooth had been filled 5 times". I have had multiple fillings and then re fillings and re re fillings over course of my life. Really had nothing to do with particular hygiene practices. Just recurrent decay, perhaps occlusion issues (if you have not seen an orthodontist maybe consider - I wish I had much sooner a than I did and now convinced it played a big part in much of my dental problems.) Of course, if anything genetics played a big part - which one has little control over.

Many fillings had gotten large and deep. Perhaps nerve was nicked and exposed, or maybe just trauma. But many of mine ended up in root canals at a later age, and ultimately crowns. Again little control and certainly -not a choice. I didn't choose to have that. It was not poor dentistry - I have been to many very good dentists.

It is a typically a case of "is what it is." So do you like it? Probably not . But when you are faced with it - you don't have a lot of choices. Learn to accept it, and make the best of it. Or hate it, and everything to do with it.....in which case I imagine will end up with a long and terrible experiences. I know what I chose, or it chose me. My thoughts - for what its worth.

Some insurances let you go twice a year. You could also get referrals to specialists, which afford you more opportunities to be in the chair.

Check Groupon.com dental specials available in your area. It's a good way to get an extra cleaning for 50$, plus you can check out a different office without using your benefits.
