I learned a valuable and sadly expensive lesson today! Two weeks ago i was getting a dull ache in my jaw and it got worse as time went on. Over the weekend it was getting very painful so i saw the dentist today and it turns out i should have gotten my teeth cleaned more regularly as i now need 4 fillings, an extensive cleaning and the infected tooth (which was causing the pain) removed, bringing it to quite a price!

I kinda knew, deep down, my teeth werent in the best shape but i did the stupid thing and ignored it and before today the last time i was in the dentist was 2004 so i know its my fault but i guess it could have been worse, i only lose one tooth, the severe pain will die down with the painkillers he prescribed and over the next few weeks the problems will be fixed.

So to everyone i say, if you have even the hint of dental problems, get yourself down to that dentist !

Youre absolutely right about that. I also learned my lesson the hard way. I almost died from a tooth infection in 1999. They had to cut open my neck to get the infection out, I was in the hospital for a week and I wasnt able to go back to work for a week after that. So take care of your teeth, or you could have some serious problems.

Looking at your avatar I could have given you a free diagnosis ... get the old choppers sorted pronto

Seeing this is a teeth post I want people to know and maybe someone can tell me what it means to have this dream. I always have this dream where all my teeth are falling out. It is a horrible nightmare and always wakes me up. Normally I am talking and they just start falling out. The dream is very vivid and realistic.

As far as I know teeth falling out in a dream means death, different teeth for different family members

As for the original topic of the post, it's all obvious to me I even go to the dentist when there's no problem at all, just to check.

Maybe you went to bed with your dentures left in & your subconscious is trying to tell you to get them in the glass before you swallow the lot ... just a thought

I was going to say something similar, my teeth come out at night but they are on the night-stand beside the bed. I dont think anyone in my family has died because of it.

Does that mean the tooth fairy comes every night .... right little earner you got there.

Never thought of it that way, Ill have to start checking under my pillow.

When I was little I tried to take my teeth out because I saw my grandpa doing it

Thats funny, when I was a little kid my dad would push his uppers into his lip, he looked like a vampire or something, it would scare the hell out of me

Thanks for the reminder. I ought to have a dental check-up next week. No matter how much I brush daily, the yellowish taint in my teeth won't go away

I think I have to go see the dentist soon... my molars are coming in and hurt like hell whenever touched... but I'm scared
