Tooth biting again

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

All the work I can have done this year is done and we are paying the dentist the rest of what we owe.  All is well, and no serious lessons have been learned this time.  One old one has been reinforced though - brush your teeth regularly.  Genetics is enough to deal with and you don’t want preventable problems on top of that.

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and getting together with family.  I do wish all my family could gather together, but for another year this will not be possible.  I will be thankful that my mouth is not hurting anymore.  I wish all a great holiday of remembrance of our blessings and convey my wishes that all pray for this great country of ours this year.

My Adult First Tooth - Gone!

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

Well, a time has come that I did not ever expect. The SilverMouse is loosing a tooth. And the funny thing is, there was nothing I could do about it. It seems that there was so much bone loss around the base of it that it was due to be gone anyway. There is also a wisdom tooth behind it that has been inverted and pushed up in the jaw with a cyst which has developed around it that has helped the bone loss process. I still brush, and keep eating healthy foods, but the one thing I could not control has finally caught up with me. And, that one thing is Genetics.

The good thing is that I have no guilt about it. All those years that mom told me to take care of those teeth is still paying off because I have the rest of them exactly like I should. The only cavity I have is in a wisdom tooth which is going to be pulled out anyway. That will probably happen next year.

So, in the mean time, I will let you all know what kind of lesson I have learned out of this whole ordeal when it comes to me. In the mean time, I will continue looking for any and all ways I can improve this personal temple of the Holy Spirit.
