Going to the ...Your agony is understandable, Barbs. Going to the dentist can be quite challenging. However, it is something that still needs to be done. Maybe, you can ask your dentist to provide you with some music on your next checkup to help you relax. I recommend you go with classical! :D<br /><br /><a href="http://www.princetondental.com/" rel="nofollow">Darcy Losh</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916456065320750420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12633241.post-55214850144428205412012-07-22T15:32:59.349-04:002012-07-22T15:32:59.349-04:00I have a guard for clenching . . .

I can't go an hour w/ it in my mouth 'cos of the saliva build up and my mind starts going (this is gross! take it out! what's all that saliva going to do to my enamel?). Endless drivel going through my mind . . . so I take it out. I'll never know if my TMJ will improve if I don't get over myself. <br /><br />I dislike dentist expenses. I don't like keeping my gob open for more than an hour or my TMJ gets cranked up, but I pop some Advil and pretty soon I'm fine. I have a tooth in need of a crown. I think it's why my TMJ is acting up like a roaring giant lately . .. so after my endoscopy on Thursday, I'll make an appointment to either pull it out (if the crack as gone into the root, it will be a root canal and a crown - expensive even with insurance so I think pulling it out would be cheaper and less annoying - and, no, I would just leave the gap) or do the crown. Uff da! I'm NOT looking forward to it. I have one crown now, but it's a huge deal. I'm always afraid it's going to budge - so far, it hasn't.<br /><br />Prayers!Sarah Oldhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169484284618791110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12633241.post-86772141133390838182012-07-18T09:43:33.553-04:002012-07-18T09:43:33.553-04:00It is very good oral health and very nice smiles. ...It is very good oral health and very nice smiles.

Eventually I will have to deal with it, but I just don't want to have to deal with it. I am not very keen on my dentist, his son joined the practice and we seem to get stuck with him and he doesn't seem very good. I hate to find a new dentist, they all seem like pushy sales men to me, I never trust what they tell me and always feel taken advantage of. Where are basic old dentists who simply clean and fill?<br />Best of luck to you on Thursday,<br /><br />BeanBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12633241.post-7402135730370987772012-07-16T18:48:55.960-04:002012-07-16T18:48:55.960-04:00Earphones and something good to listen to (mystery...Earphones and something good to listen to (mystery novel!) is how I get through dental visits.
