You Are Not Your Cavities

I detest cavities in my teeth just as much or maybe even more than the next person. When I experience cavities, I have always been self-conscious in thinking about them. It really does start to put a hurt on how you view yourself. I acknowledge this. 

I sometimes felt like I was hiding my cavities like a dark secret. Putting your cavities in the dark will only make them worse. You should still smile, because it shows perseverance, and there are people in the world who will recognize this. Maybe it's your fault maybe it's not but if you see them for what they are then you can take the next step to fix them.

In fact, I'd say that cavities are one of the most damaging things to the self-image. Cavities prevent you from eating certain foods or drinks or even enjoying certain activities. Don't let cavities be a hamper on your social life. Many people have cavities, they can form on any person and on any tooth. Cavities are fixable, they are not the dead-end problem we are accustomed to perceiving them as. 

Once the tooth is pulled or the cavity filled, of the implant rooted, the problem is fixed. What I am saying here is that you are not your cavity. Just because you can truthfully say " I have a cavity " that does not make you any less than those with perfect teeth. By the way, there is no such thing as perfect teeth.

The good thing about cavities is that you can go to the dentist and just get them fixed. Back in the day people didn't have any dentist! Make your dentist your friend. Dentists are normal folks just like most other people. They are just responsible for getting a very important job done. 

Thus, as long as you make an effort to like your dentist you should have a good experience with them. Study up on procedures, know what you're getting, and get it once you decide what you want. Do this so that you will have a knowledgable and comfortable dental experience.

With all this in mind, it is wise to start today the fight against your dental problems. Research a few dentists to find out what it will cost to get what you want to get done. Whatever money you are spending on convenience should be diverted to saving up for the numbers they give you. This being if you are serious about getting them fixed. 

Learning to live life with cavities shows persistence. Knowing that you can have them dealt with and taking action shows strength and the willingness to take life into your own hands.
