But Mayo clinic link doesn't says what causes mouth cancer. I said dental which means teeth not the mouth.
More info required.
Sounds like a case for a doctor not a dentist.

Dentists are doctors.

I didnt mention cause, I mentioned detection.

as part of your FREE dental check, they check for oral and throat cancer.

Great. Dentists never mentioned it to me through.

My friend died in February aged 48.
She had a tumour in her neck.

All my points were about teeth though.

Once here, the blood.

2 weeks to build up some resistance then I'm booking the dentist.

Neither of them are real doctors.

People who spend 3000 Euro on braces are still suckers.
Anyone want to criticise them?

No criticism from me. People value different things. If we were all like you there'd be nothing in the shops bar records, oatmeal and beans

Academics aren't doctors either.

The gaps between my teeth are so big I don't need to floss except at front lower teeth and I don't have many back teeth.
Having teeth pulled was cool. No chance of them ever causing me problems again. Haven't had any teeth removed since 2011.

I am as ugly as sin don't have pretentions about what I look like.

I go to the dentist but I don't buy all the treatments they offer.
No one else here thinks braces are a waste of money?

Of course -
Only an individual can decide what is important to them and no one else.

If I am interested in silly things like football or noise music I don't try and rationalise it. I can't. It is just me.

But some folks do daft things en masse and will argue they are being perfectly rational.
Go figure.

I'm waiting for the moment the pain becomes unbearable. Then I phone the emergency NHS number (not 999, the one where you talk to a nurse). Then I'll get put on to an emergency dentist who'll do emergency work. Costs maybe thirty quid. It's what a lot of people I know have done, it's all we can afford.
In the meantime I have a limited diet and even a limited desire to eat. So basically it's fucking horrible.

Sure this is a great thread. Today we learned that neither Ph.D.s nor medical doctors are actually doctors. Someday I hope we'll find out what "doctor" really means

Should have left "either" out of that sentence. Sorry.
Just wanted to keep Cornu's regular joke about medical doctors going.

My teeth (the real ones) were too big for my mouth to the point of pain so I had braces from a young age along with a couple teeth pulled to make some space. I can't see what part of that was a waste of time/money.

 

[magicbastarder]

i have had issues with dentists before, and possibly not an uncommon experience - dentists who wanted to do work which was unnecessary. i've had fillings done which i reckon were not quite required, and one dentist who wanted to file away one of my teeth for cosmetic reasons and the only reason he stopped was i came close to getting out of the chair to stop him - one of my front teeth on my lower jaw sits a bit behind the other, obviously it's a little crowded there. but he wanted to file away the one that sits behind so the effect is less pronounced; i said no three times, but he still reached for the file and was about to have a go.

Sorry M. That was necessary treatment.

 

[ann post]

I go to the dentist when I can set aside two days of chronic pain flare ups after. It's starting to be a bit of a critical mass issue at this point.

Still braces which you stated were waste of money. It's almost throwing out wildly general statements is a waste of time.

I am only referring to my own experience here.
But 700 - 800 to save one tooth was a rip off and dentist cleaning has made little difference for over a decade.

I am more more careful about what I eat than when I was young until I was 31 (2007) I drank stoopid amounts of orange juice.
But I would be more concerned about getting diabetes from my young and stupid diet.
