Going to the Dental Hospital soon

I don't know if they will do stuff or just talk but I'll let you know what happens. 😁x

On the bright side you might make a ton of cash when the tooth fairy comes to visit.

I am interested to hear Matthew as I’m having trouble with my teeth or what’s left of them. I don’t think my gums can take much more punishment. I hope they can recommend a solution for you.

Me too 🥺

I could not floss my teeth with my hands and traditional dental floss. I bought a Philips Sonicare AirFloss and fill it with a mouthwash. It puffs the mouthwash out the top in a focused stream when you press the big button on the handle. I use it when I am in the shower because things are now quite messy when I do anything relating to hand to mouth action. Cleaning between teeth stops things like bleeding gums and tooth decay.

Hi, I have been to the dentist a few times in last year but for check ups. He was sympathetic when I explained I gag so easily and kept stopping to check I was ok .He even said when and if I can no longer get into the surgery he will do home visits(well some years ago I had a few tooth implants as a private patient). I find brushing my teeth with an electric brush can set of my gagging reflex. I do manage to use those tepees to do between teeth daily and take a non alcohol mouth wash(ultra dex).I get dry mouth at night so always aware I might have smelly breath!!Best wishes.Mary

Just got back. I'm going back a week on Friday for a wisdom tooth extraction, my canines blunted. a partial plate to replace my front tooth and fitted with a mouth guard. They are aware of my high tolerance to painkillers and assure me they have it covered. Today I had a consultation and an X-ray. They did identify gum deseise but not worth doing anything considering my life expectancy. Brilliant people who couldn't do enough to help. I will plug the 360 cold light revolutionary tooth brush, available on Amazon for thirty pounds. 😁👍x

Sounds like a good result Matthew. If they manage to do the procedure pain free then be sure to ask for recipe.

The lady I saw today will be doing it. I can't wait 😍😍x

The lady I saw today will be doing it. I can't wait 😍😍x

I wonder why 🥰

[matthew55]

My mind is willing even if my body isn't 😁x

[Barry52]

Had an urgent appointment with the dentist today and she removed a wisdom tooth as I have an abscess. Going back in May to have the other one extracted as it is loose. At this rate I will need to liquidise my food. Apologies to those who have no choice. Reading about dentures it says one of the disadvantages is that they can affect speech. Well that ship has already sailed.

Waiting for the Novocain to wear off.

[Ellie]

Not the most pleasant of days then, Barry.

Hope you won't have much pain when the Novocaine wears off...

Love Ellie.

[Nettie]

Barry52 hope you’re not in too much pain x

Hi Barry

hope you aren't suffering. Stephen had many trips to the dentist having teeth removed and dentures made and fitted and fitted again. Now they sit in a container in the bathroom. He manages to eat with his bottom teeth only. He used to offer to put them in when going out but I said if your more comfortable without then that's ok with me.
