Annual Dental Cleaning And Check Up
[ Wednesday May 1st 2024 at 3:40 pm ]
My teeth are cleaned each quarter. The enamel of my teeth became compromised with medication used to treat my hip disease as a 5 year old in 1981. The idea is to stay ahead of plaque as it builds up. For prevention I use an electric toothbrush, Waterpik and keep my dental floss at the computer. The idea is to try and stay ahead of my teeth degrading. Then today was my annual checkup with x-rays and the dentist looking at my teeth. They have identified 2 cavities. Both are on the margins of existing fillings. Both are minor. They will be repaired on June 3rd. It isn't problematic. I am glad this has been identified and is able to be addressed without loosing my 2 teeth. Once again the dentist and staff have been very gracious and understanding assisting me in terms of my physical disability.
