Hello, you may already know what excites me, so I won't hesitate. I'm a young girl of 21, and I've never been to a dentist in my life. The reasons for this are many, but from a young age I take very good care of my dental hygiene and so far I have not had to. I have a lot of questions about this, but when I read it I'm a little scared and I don't want to admit it. 3 years ago, they were broadcasting on television for a boy who was being treated for caries, but there were complications and he was resting. As a result, you understand that I was even more scared and just the thought of it makes me sick. So my problem is with one tooth there is caries, but it is very small, meaning is not something who knows what, but I think that if I do not take care of it in time something will happen who knows what. I want to go to the dentist, but I'm scared to read. I don't know from you,

Watch a video on Youtube. I am also very scared, but I prefer to have healthy teeth. I must have had 5 caries - but all under anesthesia. Put it in the gums, you feel only a slight sting. Then your mouth tingles, you are calm and the doctor can do his job.
You write as a 14-year-old, please excuse me, but it's a child's work. No matter how perfectly you take care of your teeth and their hygiene, you need a preventive examination at least every 2 years, once you remember :) And you for 20, not once?
You have nothing to worry about, it's not so scary, the dentists work very carefully and when they feel that the pain stops for a while and continues again, after the black is cleared the pain disappears because the canal is open, then it is cleaned, then if you need to put medicine and the next time if you do not need to kill the nerve, with a seal. It is not a pain to die, it is not afraid. As for the payment, the dentist will tell you at the beginning of the examination, will examine all your teeth and will tell you what their condition is and how much it will cost you, but you are entitled to one free examination and treatment a year, but this is true for those dentists who work with the health insurance fund. Take care of your teeth, success in treatment and most of all. M37
Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. Complications that end in death can occur even if you break a pimple. No one is insured against such things. The fact that you did not go to the dentist until the age of 21 is not a boast at all. On the contrary, it speaks of an extremely low health culture and even a lack of one. You don't have to be in pain at all to go. I don't know where such a special dentist will be for you. Today, medicine is far ahead, dental offices are not places for the Inquisition, but still, without any pain is hardly possible. And, since you've never been, how do you judge what's wrong with you, caries is big or small ... well ... you're a strange person. Very cute and weird.
The author is cowardly, cowardly, but rightly an incompetent dentist can ruin your life. Ten years ago, one of them caused me periostitis and later I discovered that I had hepatitis C. Author, choose your dentist very carefully. I don't know how and where, but be careful. On the other hand, it is also true that we should not be afraid of everything ... In this number 4 is right.
If you have a small caries, there are 2 options: 1. To be only slightly superficial and after light cleaning on top without pain, because it is not affected down in the depth to the nerve. Very likely so. 2. The hole should be small on top, but deep inside and need a lot of cleaning, to get to the nerve and hurt you. But this is less common. Most likely the 1st. It is good to go to the dentist prophylactically every 6 months, even if you have no complaints. He can find something for you that you can't notice, "catch" it early and heal long before it hurts, so that you have to walk afterwards. Don't be afraid of pain - anesthesia is given if needed. I wonder how your parents have never taken you to a doctor before. In Bulgaria, at least going to the dentist is affordable, and for children probably free.
