I didn't go to the dentist even one time while living in Germany...I am an avid brusher and flosser...i thought to myself that would be enough for the 3.5 years that we were there...right?
Wrong.
A temporary crown, a permanent crown and a root canal done yesterday. But I am glad to report that there is no more decay in my mouth.
I guess I shouldn't feel too grumpy about it, the dentist said this was not just because I didn't see the dentist for about 4-5 years and a standard cleaning wouldn't have fixed it...it was all decay BENEATH my fillings.
Here is the good news... (after I get the temporary crown replaced with a porcelain crown...)
No more dentist for a full year! Wahoo!

OUCH!! I go get my teeth cleaned twice a year (instead of once a year) to try and prevent major problems. In fact, I'm going in next week. I hate it... but it's one of those necessary pains. May I add that Swiss dental hygienists are far less gentle than American hygienists (at least as far as I have experienced)?
