@canefan I reckon a few of them work up here...one my wife goes to is always trying to get her to get cosmetic shit done, telling her she needed this and that, she ended up changing fortunately she has good teeth, hope the kids have hers rather than mine.
Some of the dentists they have for kids are too eagar to extract as well, which causes crowding issues as thier adult teeth come through (learnt with TR Jnr so Miss TR had a spacer)
I dont want to change dentists as I am embarassed by the state of my teeth!
Never settle mate, find someone who doesn't make you feel like you are being sold. For the sake of your remaining teeth you owe it to yourself to find someone responsible. I see lots of people from other dentists (many thru grabone etc too) that want a second opinion for proposed treatment plans. Every time I do an assessment and find they need little or no work done it fucking disgusts me. These days any dentist worth their salt is relatively non-interventionist, especially with kids
Be honest , a dentist invented k-bars and Macintosh’s right?
I used to love K Bars. Don't forget gingernuts and minties!!!
Never had a gingernut pull out a filling , the last Macintosh I had cost me $500.
Not pull out, just break cusps off
It left a big fuck off hole . Got it fixed it didn’t last and now I’m saving for bridgework.

It's that simple. Rant over
Rant? I thought it was advertising/marketing.
I've never had a filling in my 40+ years - I must have got lucky because I abused the shit out of lollies/chocolate for years.
Although I may need to get my first filling this year because I've been brushing too hard and have removed some of the part where the gums and teeth meet.
That's pretty low rent mate. Cheap as for that type of filling, often no injection either. If it isn't decaying or sensitive you might just be able to leave it....

@catogrande TBF I was in the UK 14 years ago, and was lucky to have a good NHS dentist so was just commenting on my experience then, and obviously since in NZ.
I just know our system is broken, I know plenty of people who look after themselves and earn reasonable money but dental treatment (let alone the check up or maintenance side of things) is beyond so many, and often choose not to do something because of the cost, or take the cheaper option (extraction) because the solution is significant.
I emphasise to my kids how important keeping thier teeth healthy is, cost to remedy one, but they are a life long thing, we dont grow em back like sharks!
@canefan I did have a good dentist, they moved to another practice, I followed and seemed thier attitude toward my dental health did too.
From the outside you wouldnt know I have these issues with my teeth, I dont have gum issues, but they all have had work on them (bar 1) and I am pretty careful with what I eat, I havent had a K-Bar for probably decades

If it's someone wanting to continuously replace fillings without fresh decay beware. Some guys are out there that are too quick to cut into teeth or replace things IMHO

Not for one second condoning what she did and she does look like a fucken creepy old crone but how exactly does this make the news over so many other considerably worse crimes ?
I think Richard two Dads needs to get out more if that's the most evil person he's ever met too.

Really? I can excuse a bit of hyperbole when someone absolutely shafts ya and near destroys everything you have built up.

@mn5 theft as a servant is probably good for clicks . It’s every business owners nightmare I guess.
There was a bitch who lived locally who worked for her brother and ripped him off for years . While he was struggling to keep afloat her and her husband were taking trips overseas and renovating their house . I can’t even imagine how hurt that poor bastard felt when he figured it out . -

I guess when I think evil I think of people trying to hurt or maim physically with no frontal lobe...….you know, pure psychopaths ( I've met a couple in my lifetime unfortunately ) but you make a good point. Fucking someone over for money is definitely up there.

because people who are trusted with other people's money, and steal it, are vile fluffybunnies who should be outed very publicly, as a warning to all others who come in to contact with them.

I worked for a dental practice for a few years, so pretty much saw everything. Kids with rotten teeth, accident victims, self-inflicted smashed face, infections, sensitive teeth, dentures at 30, mass extractions, wacky estimates, fucking terrible dental work done through Winz dentists etc. It really is hit and miss in terms of ability, technique, equipment, training, cost etc. And the mark ups on crowns/bridges, dentures etc is staggering.
But yeah, do floss daily. That is a habit I got into and now I don't think anything of it. Colgate is good. Reach is shit, frays like nothing else. And chuck out your hard or medium toothbrush.

Well yeah I agree with that 100% but then we live in a world where ten year olds can murder a two year old and be released anonomously to start new lives.
Money can be earnt again, lives can't be replaced.

Probably. I think I've emphatically proven over my years here I post without thinking quite a lot of the time.
