Can't find a dentist

I have problems with my teeth, too

I'm 32yrs old, and I've never had serious issues with my teeth.
I've been going to the same dentist for the past ten years, and I honestly feel somewhat similar to what you are describing.
There have been a few times where my dentist has decided to take preventative measures, which I feel have frankly been a bit of a scam, like altering the contour of a tooth to prevent packing, for example.
Once you cut into a tooth, there's no going back, but dental offices act like it's no big deal... except that you have to live with that for the rest of your life. :/
Point-being, I somewhat distrust my dentist.
I had a bi-yearly appointment last week, actually, and knowing that it was coming-up, I just brushed my teeth an extra couple times, and when the cleaning came they did far less abrasive action than the previous time.
They were also unhappy that I wouldn't let them X-Ray. (LoL... why...)
I don't even have insurance, technically... I pay about $100 for a yearly dental discount group, which drops the retail cost, so I spend about $50 on each cleaning.
Given the activities done, each time, it's honestly overpaying.
The time before last, she was like, "okay here's your fluoride treatment", and I was really uncomfortable, because I don't use fluoride, since it makes your teeth brittle.
She then took a swab, and did a small circle on the front of my teeth, and that was it... $30. (LoL)
I've had maybe two other dentists in my life, and this one is the worst, but they're also kind-of similar, in terms of standardized practice.
It's a freakshow, and there's a lot more focus on procedures than there is on preventative care.
If you don't have problems, then they aren't gonna make much money.
So, with that in-mind, I can't recommend a dentist without doing actual research in your area, but I can recommend good practices that will diminish your need for the dentist.
For a good local dentist, just find someone with a lot of reviews who is nearby, and who supports your payment preference.

Here are my recommendations, otherwise:

• Develop Holistic Responses.
  A dentist generally provides what is essentially an emergency response within the scope of your visit.
  By developing routines and procedures of your own, you can drastically reduce your need for a mainstream dentist.
  Research holistic remedies, before letting your dentist cut chunks out of your mouth. (heh)
• Brush your teeth twice per day, but most importantly at night.
  Use a vibrating toothbrush at-least once per day, which is primarily for breaking-up stuff under the surface.
  Consider a wide-bristle manual brush for quick break-up of loose materials, and faster inbetween brushings.
• Floss (I don't do this that often, but it keeps your gums tight, and stops build-up)
• Use Activated Charcoal Non-Fluoride Toothpaste.
  There's something magical about Charcoal... I've tested other toothpastes, and this stuff can visibly absorb discoloration on your teeth.
  Do an experiment by brushing with this stuff three times in a day, and you will visibly see the difference.
  You can let this stuff sit in your mouth, after brushing, to give it a bit to absorb crud from your teeth.
• Use Hydrogen Peroxide.
  You don't wanna hold or swish with this stuff for more than 30secs, or less, because too much too long can degrade your gumline, but this obviously kills bacteria in your mouth and tonsils, and especially down into your gums.
  It also has a teeth whitening effect, which is pretty remarkable, similar to charcoal.
• Clean your teeth more quickly after eating junk, and consider what your diet does to your teeth.
  You don't wanna let sugar and tarter sit on your teeth or gums for long periods of time.
  One of the worst things for your teeth and gums is Artificial Sweeteners or Alcohol based sweeteners.
  Some of those manufactured sweeteners have been found to be up-to 40k times more potent than natural sugars.
  They are toxic to your nervous system, cause severe weight gain and insulin resistance, and can cause serious damage to your teeth and gums.
  I don't chew gum, for this reason, and I rarely eat candy, or drink soda, but I do sometimes drink energy drinks.
  If you are getting crowns and root canals, just picture bacteria literally taking chunks out of your teeth and gums, probably because they are saturated with sugar.
  The bacteria then deficates in your mouth, which can cause infection, and unpleasant odours, if not cleaned away regularly.
  Give them less incentive, and you will notice a huge change.

Perhaps by improving your preventative care, you can lessen your number of yearly visits, and justify the costs of better dental care, when necessary?
In any case, I wish you well sir!

Best to you,
Ivan

Always with the quality replies this guy

Normally I would have an equally long reply, but I'm kinda on my last few bars of energy for the day.

One thing, fluoride is a naturally occurring element in the earth. But there's also the one that is used in toothpastes and whatnot, and that one is a bit different. It was created by the Nazis and given to Jews in the camps, in order to make them more docile, accept their fate.

Now it's added to water, at least in the US I know they do that. One of the benefits listed is that improves dental health - teeth.

I don't know if it helps teeth, maybe it does and maybe it doesn't, but I'd rather not ingest it. I have some toothpastes with fluoride and some without. Always trying to keep a balance. Just like mouthwash, I have most without alcohol, and one with alcohol. Again, the balance.

I'll check out the charcoal thing, thanks.

Fersher, no worries...
Yeah, fluoride is a highly reactive substance, and it will definitely clean your teeth, but you have to remember that our teeth are porous, so they will absorb whatever touches them, and especially sits on them for a while.
You can do a search on FL and brittle teeth, and see what I'm talking about.
Whenever FL gets into my gums, I also notice they ache. (don't trust sensodyne, either, for that reason)
I don't think a little is the end of the world, I can just tell you from experience, I used FL in my youth, and when I made the switch to more holistic products, I noticed a big difference.
Nothing wrong with alcohol based mouthwash, either, they just don't tell you that it's supposed to be diluted into water, so most take it in a concentration that is very harsh.
The same goes for Hydrogen Peroxide... it's supposed to be diluted. (forgot to mention that)
Based on my experience, HP performs better than alcohol mouthwash, and it's also much cheaper.

Sounds Good, though...
I had a good checkup, recently, but I know how my mouth feels, and I definitely need to do a better job.
So, this is all good stuff to get straight!
Take care, dude...

So I got to researching dentists in my shitty (city) again, and I found 2 places that have the Cad/Cam system where they make a crown in the office, on the same day.

One of them had some really bad google reviews, and the building/house where their office is located looks like shit. And the guy picked up the phone and said, "Yes".

Motherfucker...

So I found another one, and the secretary picked up the phone correctly. Bravo lol. And I asked if they had the system, and she didn't know, but she asked the dentist there, and he said that they have it. So I booked an appointment for tomorrow.

And the dentist that'll look at me is a professor, so he's not some kid still in diapers sharpening his or her inexperienced teeth on me.

I also like that he's a guy, because I have a bit of an issue with women. Don't get me wrong, I am a feminist and all, but it's the same reason I would have an issue in the US with a black doctor. I just can't know if they got where they're at based on Merit, or based on looks (women) or affirmative action (blacks and other minorities). You can kiss my ass with that shaming shit, racist sexist, I gotta do all I can to improve my odds at getting the job done by the most competent person, and to do that I have to look at all angles.

Of course, nothing is every perfect. Their website, half of it has Lorem Ipsum. LOREM FUCKING IPSUM. I need to kick their asses for that

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Nec dui nunc mattis enim. Natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes nascetur ridiculus mus. Eget magna fermentum iaculis eu non diam phasellus. Amet justo donec enim diam vulputate.

See? Lorem ipsum. It's like they filled out some crucial pages, and the rest of it is just lorem ipsum. If I decide to get my dental work there, I need to tell them to go and edit their website and fill everything out. How can I as a BHW member go to a dentist who has lorem ipsum on half of their site. It just ain't right man

But this lorem ipsum shit, okay, you're not technical, you don't understand the power of the internet, you left your son take care of it and he's a moron, whatever, I can look past that little red flag.

Well that's it, let's see what happens tomorrow...

The only real pain is the injection to anesthesize you. Everything after that is no big deal.

With a good dentist youll barely even feel the needle. I guess theyll use an ultra thin needle, but most importantly i feel like a good dentist will apply some pressure around the point of injection as they inject you and sprinkle the anaesthetic around in there, and this pressure will reduce any pain to a bare minimum.

Most dentists suck though. Bad.
