Well since my parents had lost dental insurance, i haven't been to the dentist in a few years. After we lost dental insurance there was a period where i just didn't care about brushing my teeth. And now i really regret it. My teeth have gotten the yellow color but thankfully its not HORRIBLE, but it's still embarrassing. And i'm pretty sure i have cavities. Does getting cavities filled hurt?
--------------------
Here's the deal, when you go to get your cavities filled, they HAVE to do things to you that will hurt a little bit. But the pain is TEMPORARY and minor. There is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to pain because it only lasts a brief period of time, and then it'll be over. They'll numb your gums with a anesthetic cream and then give you some shots in your nerves to deaden them (The medicine stings a little, that's the worst part to be honest with you, and it's really not that bad and it's over quickly.) If you continue to neglect your teeth, they could get infected and KILL YOU. Yes, I'm not kidding, dental infections can be fatal. Going and getting your teeth fixed, and hurting a little bit for a very short period of time is totally worth it, because I'd rather go through getting my teeth filled than DYING. Think about that.
