Depends on dentists. Some are scammy and say you have 3 cavities when you only have one. Some are completely honest. There are bad and good. I would say most are good but idk.

Only if you're taking bbc In the mouth

Youve probably looked after your teeth. Or you might have issues you arent aware of that will cause you a world of hurt.

I didnt go the dentist for more than 15 years until one of my teeth I thought was fine turned out to have a huge cavity all the way to the root. Absolute hell of pain until I got a root canal

No. You prob just have acidic saliva or better than average genes/diet. Do you get tartar buildup on your lower front row teeth right under your sublingual salivary gland? If you do then you prob never get a cavity in your life. You just have no idea how disgusting the average person is with their hygiene.
t. dentist

It feels like they sucker people in with that "[cheap price] X-rays and cleaning for first-time patients" offer, and once they're there they proceed to refuse to do the promised cleaning because "you need a deep cleaning, and it will cost over $1,000." I know a few people that have complained about that.

as long as the dentist isn't a jew they are probably legit. personally I'd look for an asian dentist (japanese, chinese, korean). I've ran into a couple scumbag dentists and so has some friends and family, the common thing among the scumbag dentists......jews

It is not scam. But you must tell them what to do and what you don't want. Otherwise they will drill holes in your teeth for money.

they put mercury into your head, what do you think?

I dont care because I got free healthcare.

Always ask to see the x-rays your dentist takes. The jewish ones will try to fool you with a panoramic xray, don't fall for it, ask for a periapical xray of the area he thinks it's affected if you have a cavity it will show up as a hazy greyish blob. Most cavities happen in the interproximal region to avoid that just fucking floss at least before you go to bed and don't have a shitty diet..

I went when I was a little kid around 30 years ago, have all of my wisdom teeth and have never had a problem.

Went to a Germanic gigachad dentist all my life. Never had a cavity, never had issues. He just checked and said it's fine, occasionally he removed some built up plaque on my lower front teeth. I don't even brush my teeth that regularly.

They clean your teeth better than you can, I always decline the flouride rinse and throw away the little tube of goypaste that they give you.
To actually take care of your teeth you should use remineralizing bentonite clay paste, not that shit at the supermarket. Dentist and assistants were dumbfounded that my X-rays were improving every year after binging mountain dew in my teens.

wtf? cleaning and polishing here is like 30 bucks... oy fucking vey.
Nobody uses amalgam anymore user. This isn't 1972

>The jewish ones will try to fool you
I know two jews and both of them are dentists

Depends on genes and what you eat, really it's that simple

Its 80 bucks here but you get half back so its more like 40.

I avoid doing any business with jews. I don't care if I'm buying a fucking pencil or a car they will try to find a way to fuck me over so I just avoid it.

you need to scale your teeth or they'll fall out eventually unless you live on some zero sugar+starch diet

receded gums mostly don;t come back, your FUCKING BONE gets receded under them.

Wait, is tartar there a good thing? I have it but go once a year to the dentist to clean it up. It's not disgusting or anything, just a bit around the edges

That's why free dentists in countries with universal healthcare are better than private dentists, they might not be as competent, but at least they are not lying to get more money out of you because its basically done for free.

Most people do have dental plans though and we get 15 BRL for every cleaning.. That's why I don't do it. I basically just do cosmetic shit now like when boomers want to put porcelain teeth. One of my friends had a pacient that spent 400K on a full set of veneers and botox applications, no dental plans, no checks, money or gtfo is the way to go.

Question threads get a trip to the jannies offiice.

No but flouride will 100% kill you and make you have dementia....

I've worked in the dental field for 11 years.

No it's not a good thing. Tartar is basically leftover plaque mixed with calcium ions. I pointed to the tartar bc most people who don't get cavities have acidic saliva and the more acidic your saliva is the more calcium ions. I'm just like this, I get tartar but I never had a cavity in my life I don't even have bad breath in the morning. Also, if you want your teeth to look good, rinse your mouth with water after you drink acidic/coloured drinks like wine, tea or coffee and way 1 hour before you brush it will protect your enamel.

my dentist is based.

Some people don't brush their teeth and develop problems with their teeth and therefore have to go to the dentist.

>just fucking floss at least before you go to bed
I use irrigator and that feels great, much better than floss. Reccomend.
