While I was pregnant I read that it is really important to go to the dentist because your oral hygiene goes to shit because of all the hormones etc etc. SO I found this random dentist online that was near me that had good reviews (this is a cautionary tale against doing that, by the way) and there were a couple issues. First of all, I went in asking to have my teeth cleaned and to get one of my teeth fixed where a filling had fallen out. Instead, all that happened was that the dentist talked to me and looked in my mouth and charged me $150. At the next visit he took multiple x-rays and informed me all but my front teeth have cavities. He ended up putting caps on 3 of my teeth and that maxed out my insurance - which only pays for 1/2 of it all anyway so I still had to pay about $2000 dollars. Which is just ... insane. INSANE! And of course they didn't have a payment plan, so I had to put it on my credit card. Awesome. Not only was this all overly priced, but the dental hygienist was absolutely horrible - she barely paid attention and would randomly leave the room while the dentist was working on my teeth. What the hell? Anyway, then the dentist tried to convince me to get the rest of my cavities filled even because there was no point in waiting for my insurance to kick back in in January since I would max it out again anyway before fixing all my teeth. I'm sorry, what?! It was at this point that I decided to go somewhere else to get the rest of my teeth fixed come January.
But then January came and I had a newborn baby, so it wasn't until today that I could finally get my teeth dealt with. I went to this new place my coworker recommended and it was great - the people seemed to know what they were doing and they were super nice. I got my teeth cleaned - but here's the thing - I only have two cavities, not the 10 the other dentist said I had left. And the real kicker? Those caps the other dentist gave me? Yea, they don't exist! They charged me for caps but gave me fillings! I mean, are you kidding me?! So I plan on calling them tomorrow to try and get my money back or something. I'm just glad I didn't stick with them. Ugh.
Oral hygiene is that the method of keeping your mouth, teeth, and gums clean to forestall tooth and gum diseases like cavities, gingivitis, dental medicine and exhalation sickness.
