dental braces horror stories

To avoid pain, take painkillers as prescribed by your dentist right after getting your braces adjusted. For sores, use dental wax to cover the parts of the braces that rub against your cheeks or gums. Regarding food getting stuck, rinse your mouth thoroughly after eating. Use a water flosser or interdental brush to clean around the braces.

Well, a frequent horror story about dental braces is the long duration of treatment. People expect it to be over quickly but often it drags on for years. Then there's the appearance. Some braces make people feel self - conscious as they can look quite bulky. And let's not forget about broken braces. If a wire snaps or a bracket comes off, it can be not only uncomfortable but also require an emergency visit to the dentist.

One of my dental horror stories was when I went to get a wisdom tooth pulled. The dentist didn't numb me properly. I could feel every tug and pull as he tried to yank that tooth out. It was excruciating pain that I will never forget.

I've heard of a case where a person's braces headgear kept getting caught on things. It got caught on their pillow at night and almost choked them. It was really scary.

Well, I once read a Buzzfeed braces horror story where a girl got her braces tightened too much. It was so painful that she couldn't eat solid food for days. Every time she tried to chew, it felt like her teeth were being pulled out.

One horror story is when the dentist accidentally drilled into the wrong tooth. I was in so much pain and shock. It took a long time to fix the mistake and deal with the extra damage.

One horror story is about a patient who had an implant that got severely infected. The pain was unbearable and it led to swelling that affected the whole side of the face. It took multiple rounds of strong antibiotics to get it under control, and in the end, the implant had to be removed.

Well, a patient told that they had an appointment at Aspen Dental for a routine check - up. But during the examination, the dentist recommended a whole bunch of unnecessary procedures like root canals and crowns. The patient felt pressured to agree. After some of the procedures were done, they had extreme pain and swelling for weeks. Another horror story involves incorrect diagnosis. A person was told they had several cavities when in fact it was just some minor staining. The unnecessary drilling and filling caused a lot of discomfort and damaged the healthy parts of the teeth.

I knew a person who had a cavity that grew into a huge problem. Since they had no dental insurance, they couldn't afford to go to the dentist right away. By the time they finally managed to save some money, the cavity had turned into an abscess. The pain was unbearable, and they had to get an emergency extraction which was very expensive and also a very difficult procedure because of the advanced state of the problem.

One horror story is about a patient who went abroad for cheap dental implants. When they got back home, they had constant pain and infections. It turned out the dental work was shoddy, and the materials used were of low quality. They had to spend a lot more money to get it fixed properly in their own country.
