After going through the nightmare that is braces during my teens, I didn’t give a lot of thought to my dental health for years after. Going to the dentist hadn’t been one of my favorite past times and nothing that bad would happen if I skipped my usual appointments, right?
How wrong I was. In my early twenties my dental hygiene was not actually what you’d call great. I brushed once per day and was positively sure I was looking after my teeth. After years of poorly conducted dental care, mixed with unpleasant food leavings from sugary drinks, food and coffee, my teeth were definitely worse for wear.
Not only were my teeth no longer straight (to my folks ‘ horror), they were quite far from pearly white and became very sensitive. There wouldn’t be any putting it off any longer – I had to visit my local dental clinic. Not surprisingly, my dentist was horrified, but naturally approached the issue in a professional way, offering me information on cosmetic dentistry and a range of whitening services and products.
I realized now, much to my regret, that I was far worse off than if I had gone through the annoying anguish of my normal dental visits. I was up for teeth surgery, laser teeth whitening, dental implants and doubtless even dentures in a few year’s time. As I was dreading the prospect, my dentist and I chatted.
She informed me that since she began working as a dentist not more than 10 years back, the proportion of people requiring teeth whitening, teeth implants and sedation dentistry was rising rapidly. The amount of folk with a dental emergency, from car accidents, soccer games and so on was dwindling and dentistry directed at correcting years of unacceptable habits was starting to predominate.
Before it all started, I had been concerned about the dental implants cost, but in the final analysis all I could fixate on was the fact that I was 35 and had fake teeth. Not just that, I had to go through teeth bleaching and other teeth whitening procedures solely to make my teeth ordinary – it would most likely take some more yet to get to „toothpaste ad white“ teeth.
So the message of the tale? Clean your pearly whites! Not only that, listen attentively to everything your dentist (and your parents) tells you. And if it’s too late and the damage has been done, there may be light at the end of the tunnel – rediscover your long lost dentist today.
