How do you know if you have a cavity?! Can you fix it without going to the dentist?!

You know, there are plenty of people who don't even brush every day, every other day, or even every week. I know a guy who didn't brush his teeth for a whole year.

EVEN, I forget to floss everyday.

missing a day or two is not going to have a big impact, in a long run its important to be a consistent flosser.

some day iA

are you talking about the one glued to the back of your bottom front teeth?

I think it depends on the orthodontist...why do you want it removed?

I've had my mind set on going into dentistry since I entered high school. I job shadowed my uncle, who is a general cosmetic dentist, and his work didn't seem bad but it did seem like it may get redundant after a while.

Inshallah, this summer I plan on jobshadowing an orthodontist and maybe another specialty like a periodontist.

I have a widespread love of biology which I'm sure would extend to dentistry if I studied it. But I hear to some extent dentistry is like being an artist in the way that you sculpt teeth. I'm not that great with my hands and I don't exactly show interest working with hands. I'm the type of person that has strengths in the book smart area.

So what is the best part of dentistry besides getting paid a comparable amount to doctors who do more work heh?

And the worst part?

My wisdom teeth are growing in. The dentist said a few things, most of all that I need to go see an oral surgeon.

- I might have room for the teeth on the bottom
- I won't have room for the teeth on top

But I am PETRIFIED, and I mean PETRIFIED, of having surgery done, absolutely PETRIFIED. Like the thought of it brings me to tears. I can't do it. I rather have my teeth shift and put braces back on than to have surgery.

I can not get past being put to sleep. I am more PETRIFIED of that than the actual pain.

I can't do it.
