I had a playground accident in primary school and most of my front teeth were broken or chipped a wee boy swinging a rounders bat above his head I believe...I dont remember it at all.I was knocked out .The dentist wouldn't touch them,He said I had to wait until I had matured,I think he meant growth wise .Ihad no pain from them so I wasn't unduly worried ,until I developed an abscess under one and the dentist didn't offer antibiotics ,in fact didn't say anything ,just sat me down and pulled it out .No anaesthetic ! I've been pretty scared of them ever since.
I was in my mid twenties when I eventually got more than the gold filling he put in my front tooth when I was 15 ,I had them crowned,but not the bottom ones which are pretty much like they were when I was 9 .They still dont cause pain which is the main thing and my dentist still sticks with the if they dont hurt we'll leave them route.Luckily they aren't very visible .Like most who had teeth issues my children had perfect teeth and I was religious about them my 33 year old still hasn't had a filling ,my 43 year old only had fillings after her 3rd pregnancy and she says she was told that happens a lot as the pregnancy leeches the calcium.
