I have found it very interesting. Hopefully it never applies to me/mine, but still grains of knowledge that I tuck away for safe keeping. I think I mentioned before that my mom is in full dentures. She has had them my whole life (either got them when I was a baby or before I was born, she was 20 when I was born, I do not know the cause). I am not actually sure if they have had to be replaced, she never talks about them, my kids probably do not even know she has them, I never think about it (actually, since it has been her norm my whole life). I think in one of your posts when you were talking about the fact that your issues are genetic, you mentioned that this (dentures, dental issues) is common for alcoholics. Am I remembering correctly? And what is the cause behind that please?<br /><br />I had one winter where I tied walking with picking up afternoon carpool. Mine was on the treadmill at the gym which was just down the road from their school. There was a woman who parked in her pick up spot early and then ran her course, ending up back at school just as the kids were walking out each day. Motivation for consistent time if there ever was one. I had kids at that school for 16 years. I can't remember what time frame this was. But I have often thought of her.

I guess for some people it's no big deal, but that's not you or me.<br /><br />The last time I got a bite guard, the dentist prescribed a muscle relaxer for me to take the night before so my jaw would be less tight. I thought it was a little bit much, but it turned out it seemed to work!<br /><br />Just found out yesterday that from now on - until forever - I need to take antibiotics prior to dental procedures. This because of the knee replacement...who knew. They said I'll need the antibiotics prior to any "dirty" procedures which includes all dental work (yes, even cleanings are apparently dirty!) and OBGYN exams and, "you know, all dirty procedures" said the PA at my ortho's office. Guess I need to read up on what qualifies as a dirty procedure ... Sigh ... It's always something!<br /><br />Hope everything comes off on schedule Thursday and that the fit is perfect!denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873046572246069891noreply@blogger.com
