Dental Problems

When I was growing up. I ate a lot of candies and chocolates as well as chips. All kinds of junk food, you name it, I am sure I have eaten. And our parents would always tell us to brush our teeth so that we would not have tooth decay. Every night they would ask us to brush our teeth thoroughly before going to bed. But do we listen. Maybe some of us did. Unfortunately I did not so now that I am an adult and have small kids of my own, I understand why our parents wanted us to do it.

I am now using the style of my parents. Telling my kids to brush properly so that when they grow up they would not end up like me. I believe that the number of teeth an adult has is 32. However, on my last count I only have 22. If I only heeded my parents, maybe I would have more Hahaha!

The latest problem that I have was an infection on my front tooth. Fortunately the dentist was able to save it by performing a root canal and placing a permanent crown on the tooth. I have some before and after pictures that I want to share.
