I do my own dentistry

First the disclaimer.  What follows is for informational purposes only.  Nothing should be construed as dental advice.  Without a proper diagnosis by a qualified dentist, appropriate treatment cannot be recommended.  If you find yourself in the midst of a dental emergency/urgency, seek care from a qualified dentist as soon as possible.  If you read this and then think you are an expert, you are the author of your own demise and it’s not my fault.

No one wants to think about dental emergencies when “out and about” but emergencies happen nonetheless.  There are many possible scenarios that qualify as dental emergencies, and unfortunately, there are some things that just simply can’t be properly treated in the field.  There are other occurences, however, that do lend themselves to “ditch dentistry” to hold you together until you get back to a dentist.

Prevention is easier – “Going For The Gold”:

I have accepted the fact that no one likes to go to the dentist, I don’t even like to go to the dentist.  When working/living/traveling in hot zones, the open ocean, jungles, or other far away places, however, it is far better to have definitive dentistry completed prior going to your gig.  The last thing you want to deal with is a dental problem especially a dental problem that could have been prevented.

Definitive dentistry does not necessarily mean that you don’t have any new cavities and you’ve had your teeth cleaned.  Definitive dentistry means utilizing crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, etc. to treat the teeth as comprehensively as possible to get the longest lifespan possible out of the teeth and the restorations.  This treatment is more expensive and more extensive than simple fillings, but if it is done properly, it will be worth the investment.
