I never had a problem going to the dentist as a child. My parents were insistent that we care for our teeth and get braces. I’m not sure that the braces technology is what it is today as I had them for over 7 years and I still have some crooked teeth. There was nothing worse that getting the monthly tighten on my “brace face.” However, bad teeth genetics are tough to correct. My family has a history of having tooth decay.
I recently tried to have my four impacted wisdom teeth removed and that was a nightmare as I woke up in the middle of the operation. However, I have never had an issue with cosmetic dentistry. Cavities, veneers, and caps are very common and easy procedures for dentists to perform these days.
