Dentist Visit

Another of my favourite visits to the dreaded Dentist! Today was fixing a tooth filling and checking all other cavities. I had a filling which had partial broken off, so the dentist had to remove the rest of the filing and re-fill it. This would be the last filling on this tooth, next time I'll need a root canal or have it removed :( 

The xrays and procedure cost $310.00. It wouldve been $370.00, but I have Smile so I got a discount.

NEW FLASH!! Check out Smile Dental Cover Plans, check out their dentists and their fees!!

I paid $88 to cover myself and my husband for 1 year! With my first visit I save $60 already!

Once your pregnant you are advised not to get injections or take pain relief medications as it can affect the baby. It’s really good if you can go to your dentist before you get pregnant to get any repairs done.

I have teeth grinding problems also known as Bruxism, it is stress related and mainly due to work. I used to wear a normal mouthguard to sleep and it was so uncomfortable.  The Dentist advise in purchasing a thin custom mouthguard which costs $140.00. I'm considering going next week to get an impression done.

Australia doesn’t have Bruxism mouth guards at local shops or pharmacies/chemists. It’s really annoying and I can only by online Dr Brux or through Ebay. But i think having a custom mouthguard from the Dentist is much better!

Anyone have any good Bruxism and how did you relieve your pain?
