tooth enamel wearing -ouch
Long history of dental problems, crowns now have decay underneath, full set of xrays taken and waiting on treatment plan and costs in next week or so coming; supposedly coming in 2 weeks, holes in teeth attributable to lots of fruits which turn to sugar, then lots of tomatoes this season which is super acidic and now I can say cavaties are in full swing.
Ouch..right now...the upper left tooth, next to crown, that probably has decay under it, has enamel wearing there. The wearing is close to gum line. At the gum line, like on top of these tooth area, there is obvious wearing. I can get random toothaches anytime day of day or night and even sometimes have such pain I am able to actually fall asleep. I'm not impressed with my greedy dentist who I just found so hunting for a new one. They are so darn expensive and without a job, and yes with my set of xrays I need help. In meantime, any suggestions to the ache that comes on whenever it wants to? I am using 1-2 drops of oil of orengano in water, dipping brush in it and hoping this will help somewhat with the multiple concerns. My dentist thougth I was going to do a temporary partial other day, with two upcoming tooth extractions with a bill of approximately $900, but I decided that xrays of whole mouth made more sense. He was upset that the bill was only $85 and not $900. Looks like he is history for my mouth. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
