Went Friday , 19th, for a dental check up and cleaning. I knew it would not be good news. I used to go every 6 months for cleaning and check up. Life got in the way and it has been at least 3 years or so. So I need lots of fillings and about 3 new crowns . Hopefully this will work and I will not lose anymore teeth. I do not want to have to have false teeth. Everyone complains about them.
I have actually been lucky. I got my caps, crowns, partials and bridges probably 30 years or so ago. And with some small fillings along the way and a couple of new partials I have sailed on.
Inflations rears its head. I probably had $2500 in my original big work years ago. For the plan in place now it will be over $5000.00. Crowns have over doubled in price.
But I am trying to look on the bright side, and hope he does not run into any problems with teeth he cannot save. And I will not have to have to have all of them pulled. I do not need them to last another 30 years at my age, but would like to go out with what teeth I have left now.
Great day for a picnic in the park. We gathered in Greenwood, Mo for the first time we have tried to get some of the scattered family together. We were not to successful in finding or getting some we have not seen for years together.
But for the ones that came, we have a good time visiting and lots of good food.
