I got to see the dentist this afternoon finally. It's been, oh let's see... maybe 5 years since my last exam (pre-covid anyway). It was a very thorough deal. Not only xrays but photos of my teeth using something like the Doctor's sonic screwdriver. Got all the secret gum pockets measured, too. I go back Thursday for a cleaning, and then next Tuesday for 3 fillings.

I’m glad you went. Our oral health has such a connection to heart and brain health. I’m always especially concerned about brain health since my mom was so young when she got dementia. Thanks for the reminder to make my own appointment!

@BarBaraPrz Oh, just a year, but I know I’m supposed to go every six months. I don’t have dental insurance so I can’t afford cavities. The fear of a big dental bill usually gets me to go.

It's good you've been able to get to the doctor after so long. I hope the fillings are small ones.

Goodness, try to go at least once a year from now on if you can.
