Eeek, oral surgeons are expensive af. I spent like $700 out of pocket two years back. When I was only 22, I had a failed root canal on a back tooth. I had worn
braces twice and had an emergency and they took out the tooth because there was a huge crack in it. Then I got an implant. No big deal because it was a back
tooth, but I preferred the implant because so many people I knew had issues with bridges. The implant was fine for many years then two years ago, the screw in
the implant like broke off after eating something hard andI had to go to an oral surgeon to like get the screw out and replaced. What a nightmare.

today we visited another dental practice, but the oral surgeon there
referred us to the hospital, my mom is too full of drugs like blood pressure, etc to be sedated like a normal healthy patient, they're afraid to do it. why
didn't we talk about it over the 'phone? all they did was take a look at her teeth,
but that went nowhere,

also her teeth are turning black, but all they do is focus on
the bridge. nobody says anything about it

Im super sorry to hear that. It was super hard to get my grandmother to a dentist too. I hope she gets the treatment she needs. Dental work is so difficult for
the sick and elderly. Certain medications can mess up the teeth too.

Always make sure your sister cleans her teeth at least at least at night flossing them and brushing.

Certain mouth washes can really make a difference too and those mouth swabs.

my sister is a lazy, argumentative bitch, she feeds mom sweets all day but only before bedtime does she brush teeth. u gotta cleans teeth within fifteen
minutes of eating sugar or acid stuff like citrus.
