You gotta choose: If your teeth hurt (one or more) then you need to see a dentist. If you say you don't have time...Then they must not hurt that much. If you do have a problem..You could end up having more time out of commission, by not getting whatever it is fixed or looked at. Most dental appointments are usually 30-60 minutes long. You can plan around that or find a dentist with times that fit your schedule.

Not much: You're only delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later you'll have to go to the dentist and get that tooth checked out. The more time that goes by without seeing your dentist, the less chances you have of saving that tooth. You may think you're busy now, but when that toothache wakes you up in the middle of the night, you'll be making time to see your dentist right away. Don't wait!

No good answer : You need to see your dentist because no dental problem ever gets better without treatment, only worse!
