I'm not suggesting some conspiracy. Just that market motivations might be misaligned.

I really wish they'd hurry this up.
It's too late for those teeth but maybe I can save others.
I've been having some success with toothpaste with NovaMin (has to be purchased outside the US) and mouthwash that contains Dipotassium Oxalate Monohydrate. That is OTC in the US but you have to find the ones with it.

I was just told I need a quintuple extraction after having to go to the ER with jaw pain. 4 wisdoms and a molar. I really wish they'd hurry this up.

If someone had told me to remove the teeth because of the pain, I would have said yes.
I’d at least make sure that they tested your bite before you move forward with extraction.

Although I haven't personally tried it, I have friends outside of the US that rave about Sensodyne Repair & Protect original with the "Powered by NovaMin" badging. NovaMin is composed of special ceramic particles that coat the teeth with a compound that reacts with the saliva to form a durable physical barrier. The problem is that the stuff with NovaMin is not typically available in the US. I just searched Amazon and…

Have you looked into botox shots at all? When I tell you my life changed completely from a 15 minute botox appointment with an oral surgeon I am not exaggerating in the least. I’d had no idea what it felt like to live without bruxism - not only were my teeth better but my neck stopped aching, my back muscles stopped spasming, and I stopped getting migraines entirely. I had gotten debilitating migraines once every mon…

I think about this fairly often. When getting a root canal (it doesn’t hurt!) it’s sort of odd to see in this day and age the tools they use.

A dentist finally slowed down. Noticed my tears. Asked. Had a conversation. Tried freezing me in other places. Worked perfectly. She guessed that my nerves are anatomically weird.

I am just going to have the tooth pulled. They argued either try to save it, or just have it taken out.
I dread dentists, and especially endodontists/root canals.
There are enough reports of severe pain and I want no part of it, unless I go the expensive sleep dentistry route.
