(i guess)
It can destroy your liver. Not sure if that's what he was talking about.
There are far better ways to destroy your liver than Tylenol.
Which is kind of what happened to my dentist's aunt. She was a raging alcoholic, but kept it hidden. She wound up in the hospital, she didn't tell anybody, and her body went into withdrawal and she expired.
Of course, my dentist might just be giving me hints.
i have yet to find a dentist that i like since we moved. had a dentist in dallas i liked, then we moved to ft worth...nothin.
used the guy in dallas every six months for general cleanings (covered for free with insurance) and did a deep cleaning ever couple years (not free, and asked for by me. he never recommended it). floss twice a day, brush 3 times a day (dork who takes his toothbrush to work), mouthwash recommended by dentist twice a day....you would think i'd have no probs...the guy in dallas didn't think i did.
but [expletive], out in ft worth?? the first thing any one of these dentists try to do is tell me how i need to get my fillings redone from when i was a kid. they are the silver kind (not looking up what it's called), and wants to replace them with white fillings. there are 4 of them and they are the four back teeth (2 bottom, 2 top). you can't see them...i don't care if they are silver. well, they all tell me if they fall out and i swallow them, they can be harmful. i've had them for over 30 years....i'm good.
they all try to do a deep cleaning...my other dentist never recommended one, i did. i'd prob do it if it weren't for the pushiness.
i want my free cleaning....won't do it. won't do it?? nope. won't do it till i have a deep cleaning first.
guess i'll be driving my happy ass out to dallas and let him do the deep cleaning that he won't even recommend.
The tell is when you go to dentist office, and your normal dentist is not there, and another one starts in on a whole different line of BS. Should have read the tickler. One guy tried to convince me to buy several hundred dollar mouthpiece to keep me from grinding my teeth at night. I told him I'd drink an extra beer before bed until my daughter's teenage years were over.
One time I was in the chair, done with the hygenist part of the visit and waiting for my dentist to come in and slap me on the back and let me leave. I can hear the office workers calling him on his cell phone to get him back. And then I hear how he was running errands to get [expletive] for his vacation.
It's funny that I'm [expletive], because I do like our current dentist. I trust him more than those we had 0in the past, but not entirely.
my daughter's dentist referred her for braces. I told her mom that before I put one cent into braces I was getting another opinion.
Shockingly, the orthodontist told my ex that they should hold off... for now. I'm still getting a second opinion before I pay anything.
Also, I went to see an oral surgeon about my TMJ issue. This arrogant prick didn't really want to answer my questions but deigned to explain to me that the surgery was 89% successful. "That's pretty good, right!" Uh, depends on what happens to the other 11%.
So I don't have the procedure. A few years later I go see another guy- turns out the two had been in the same practice- who tells me that I should avoid the surgery if at all possible. Come back when I had pain I couldn't deal with. Then a few years later, I'm talking to the dentist I trust and he mentions that TMJ surgery is "fraught with danger."
