Growing up my parents weren't the best about making sure we see the dentist like suppose to or really show the importance of brushing and flossing. However as I got older I just knew to brush everyday because who likes stinky breath?!! I never flossed like I should have and still slacked off on seeing the dentist much mainly because at times dental insurance wasn't there. Well I,m totally kicking myself for it today. 😬😒😟

For the past couple months I had this decent hole in my tooth, and lately it's been bugging me more so than it was. I go to the dentist, get my xrays done and i just see them all popping up on the computer screen. Cavities galore!!! Come to find out the tooth with the hole is actually decaying however he said I could still get a root canal on it 😖 then most of the other holes were also showing decay.

Sucky part my insurance only covers up to $1000 which barely covers the root canal alone without the filling. The rest to fix will be $2000 out of pocket.

I just want to scream and cry because of all this. I just don't know how Or when it got so damn bad.

So word of advice, always brush with a good tooth brush (the money for a fancy one seems really worth it), use good tooth paste, floss like crazy, and most importantly always go to the dentist at least once a year.
