When you go to the dentist, the dentist will examine your teeth, do some cleaning or put some filling.. if you have crooked teeth, you might want to get braces.





Why get braces?


Orthodontic treatment improves your smile.


Your smile is the most striking part of your face. Look in the mirror. Do you like your smile now? Can your smile be improved?





Think about how you react to someone with a pretty smile. Do you find them more attractive? Will you be more attractive with an appealing smile?





Orthodontic treatment will make your smile look fabulous. The fabulous smile will last for the rest of your life. Think about how a fabulous smile will improve your life. Orthodontic treatment will also make your face look delightful. Wouldn't a delightful face be wonderful?
Reply:Wellllllllllll - now's the perfect time to start going to the dentist, don't you think?
Reply:DON'T WORRY I DIDN'T GO FOR MY FIRST TIME UNTIL I WAS 20 AND I ONLY HAD 2 CAVITIES AND HAD TO GET 4 SECTIONIOAL CLEANING. GUMS WERE GREAT AFTER THAT I HAVE ORTHODONTIC PROBLES ALSO. WILL BE GETTING IT FIXED SOON. I USE TO BE LIKE THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT I LEARNED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO SEE ME ANYWAY SO WHY HIDE IT. I AM MARRIED SO U WILL FIND SOMEONE WHO LOVES IT. MY BOTTOME TEETH ANGLE AND HAVE A GAP. SO JUST GO AND GET UR GUMS TREATED FIRST BECUS THEY HAVE TO BE HEALTHY TO GET BRACES.

Reply:not to worry...first,find a dentist your confident with and just start going and getting your dental work done if you have any cavities or corrections that need to be done...i can relate to how you feel in a way b/c my tooth immediately beside my front tooth is sooo small and shaped funny and sort of tilts back in my mouth but the same tooth on the opposite side is fine...i have always had bad teeth...had braces for 6 yr and 1 mo....and on top of that, i just don't have healthy teeth...but they are ok now with lots of dental work...it just takes time but a dentist can correct your front teeth...and just for the record, my husband had never been to a dentist since he was a small child, never flosses b/c he said it hurts him...finally did go to the dentist when he was23 to have a wisdom tooth taken out and he didn't have a single cavity...now imagine that...lol...some ppl just naturally have healthier teeth than other and i'm just not one of the lucky ones...lol...so don't despair, your problem can be corrected. :)
