Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Carol, I had some major work done about 10 years ago. Major, but not serious. I had problems with my gums and my wisdom teeth had to go out as there was no way to clean around them and my gums were in a real bad shape. I had a real good dentist in NYC, who always considered other conditions people had. He would not touch my mouth without giving me an antibiotic 24 to 48 hours before. I don't go to this dentist any more as my insurance change and I don't have dental any more. He's very expensive, so before I see any dentist I just call my doctor and he prescribes it for me. It's one of those little things we need to remember. Mojo I'm back and Wow! > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > > > I thought I would check in really quick.
