Howdy all. This one is more for me, than for you. Dentist appointment for cleaning this morning. Wow, this cleaner was thorough. And it was xray day too. They’ve quit covering us with the lead blankets now for good. I could have used it today. It was chilly in that chair. She scraped off the teeth, and I swear, she scraped of the gums too. Then she use a water chisel on every bit of gum tissue that was left. I was quite sore. Then the dentist was able to say, “There is some bleeding around the gums” Hell yeah, and of my inner cheeks and tongue too… Anyway, I also liked how she was talking about cavities that were going to need fixed, even before she started. Um, last visit, there was like one tooth that was mentioned as a watch area. She mentioned like 5.

Of course the dentist then confirmed one tooth should be capped, because “it was more filling than tooth”, and that the number 31 molar should be recapped and filled too. Um, hey doc, the number 31 molar was removed when I was like 19 years old. That is number 32 (a wisdom tooth) that was given a gold crown back then, and allowed to slant into covering both spots.

I don’t have the X-rays, but you should be able to notice the gap between the roots of 30 and 32. I will not be having old 32 getting an implant. I can’t even chew that far back.

But they are doing an insurance check on that bicuspid that he says is mostly filling to see whether it should be done this calendar year, or next.

So I may be back there one more time this year, or early next year, prior to my May 2026 cleaning. Not a way to Enjoy Life

More “editorial” comments. UGH, I hate to read the news anymore. It really triggers me. Anyway, I saw this headline, “White House says October jobs and inflation data may never be released because of the shutdown“. Um, or is it the shutdown was forced upon us because the White House didn’t want the jobs data showing negative growth and increased unemployment, nor the inflation report showing the effects of tariffs, causing a rise? Either way, the White House will blame the Biden lead Democrats, who will blame the President. Stop the blame. Take responsibility. Both sides need to start doing their jobs…. Or is chaos what they need to Enjoy Life ??
