Re: teeth ot

[Guest guest]

Not only have I heard of it, I've been there. and I were going to

have our dental work done there but after we figured out that he would have

to miss work every time he went, we figured it was no cost savings for us.

They do things at student's pace and it would take multiple visits for

something an established dentist would do in one. If we weren't so far away

and the work wasn't an issue, I'd go. I was impressed with the place.

Here's the info on it:

I'm not worried about cookies for us since we don't need them. I usually

bake to give as gifts. But this year I'm only baking for my father in law

who is a diabetic. I'm trying a sugar free oatmeal banana cookie recipe

today. It uses dates and raisins as the sweetener and it all goes in a food

processor. My kind of recipe! I'll let you know how they turn out.

Lynn,

I am new, and don't really know anyone in this group, but I just had to send

you a note to say CONGRATULATIONS on your new granddaughter. I have 6 grand

kids and they own my heart. Recently my daughter-in-law sent me a picture of a

flower garden with pictures of each of the children in the center of the

flowers with the caption " Grandchildren are the flowers in the garden of your

latter years " ! Each of the children signed their names however they could -

all

are under 9 years of age! This is a priceless to me.

Wishing you joy in the beginning of your life in a flower garden (even if the

weeds(RA) do live in our bodies and are worse that crab grass),

Gentle Hugs,

Carol M. in CA

Hi a,

With having the flu for four weeks and becoming a grandmom again on

Wednesday, I just today contacted the school of dentistry. I am having a little

trouble getting through but it is Monday. They told me the initial fee is

75.00, but now I have to call another number and that is where, I am having

trouble getting though. I am certainly going to keep trying. I just wanted to

thank you again, we will see what happens.

Oh by the way my granddaughters name is Carolyn Grace and she has a full

head of black hair, a real cutie. Now I have four granddaughters and one

grandson, little .

Hope work is working out for you and you are not feeling too tired.

Hugs,

Lynn

Lynn,

Yuck! So sorry it happened this way Lynn. Thankfully it is over and now

you will be on the recovery road with no further complications. I have a

pet peeve with dentists that don¹t have emergency numbers after hours. My

husband had a problem with a root canal that caused severe pain all night,

and it was awful waiting for the office to open. We changed dentist to one

that had an after hours contact number. Eating isn¹t to much fun, but it

will get better. Soon you¹ll be smiling a beautiful smile, showing the

world your new set of chompers. Hope today is a better day.

Hi Lynn, sorry you had such an episode at the dentist. One consolation is, you

won't need a dentist again. I was fitted with new teeth last Fall and I had a

terrible time eating. I had to go back twice for adjustments and they fit fine

now, in fact they are hard to get out. I have a terrible gag reflux and to help

with this, the dentist suggested Fixodent or Poligrip. This fixed the problem of

gagging and makes me feel more secure about eating. I love my new smile now as

I am sure you do as well.

Hi June,

I saw the dentist yesterday to get the stitches out. I started to bleed

again but all is well now. I ask him about cleaning the teeth and he told me

(no lie) soap and water. I am using the polident tablets I was given in the

kit. I think I am going to stay with that plus I am going to buy the

dentucreme. I ask my mom and this is what she does. Her teeth always look nice

so that is my route.

> Lynn, the polident tablets or any brand are good but I do use the Dentucreme

made for dentures as well. I have to confess that I am very vain and don't take

my teeth out every night like you are supposed to and without doing this, it is

difficult to keep them as clean as I would like. My dentist said to take them

out every night and put them in water with a tablet but I also noticed the last

time I was there that they sell a special cleaner, so I may pop in and see if it

is something I can use to clean my teeth without the hassle of taking them out.

If it is any good, I will let you know.

Hi Becky,

He took the stitches out yesterday and I started to bleed again. But

everything is okay now. I don't think I will follow in your aunts shoes. I

wouldn't want anyone to see me without the teeth. I am not sure I like what I

see. My SIL and I were talking about that yesterday. She has had her teeth for

years and she told me, no one has ever seen her without her teeth. That is how

I will be. Your aunt sounds funny.

teeth out!

I don't know how she made it through that. It took her quite a while to get her

new teeth to fit right but she's very happy with them now. I guess your gums

shrink as they heel and that probably makes it easier.

My mother bleed on and off for a few weeks so don't be alarmed if that happens,

unless it's a lot. Mixed with the saliva will probably appear to look like more

than it really is but you'll know the difference because it will not be huge

chunks of clots. Try keeping some of those blue bed pads on your pillow or

under your pillow case. That way you will only have to wash the pillow case and

not ruin the pillow.

Tell, hope you are felling okay. I admire you for going through that surgery.

I can't even begin to imagine what you have been through.

She is funny! She's 81 years old now and just had her leg amputated. Even

through all that she was funny. One night shortly after the surgery she said

that leg that was missing was so cold and it hurt. I told her it was phantom

pain and cold and to act like the leg was there and rub it or cover it with a

blanket so her brain would react to that. She told me since it was snowing out

they probably took her leg and threw it in the dumpster in the alley behind the

hospital and there was snow on it!
