Another culprit for my dental woes.
I haven’t been terribly attentive about the saga of my teeth lately. The remaininging fillings I received aren’t very visible and I didn’t get Somara to take “before” pictures in time to contrast them with the after. But I do have great news to counter the less gross picture above. The great news is the improvements on my gums. I have regained a couple milimeters in many places. I only recall the hygenist calling out only a half dozen numbers over three (three or less is good, four or higher is a bad amount of gum retreat, seven or higher is pretty nasty). I’m not out of the woods yet, I have to return to the dentist in three months. Meanwhile, I have to be more aggressive with my flossing. There’s no way I can drink my out of this with Diet Dr. Pepper. So what’s with the tooth picture? That’s the wisdom tooth that had to be removed because it was contributing to my gum problems by pushing up against my upper right teeth. Hopefully its absence will alleviate the pressure and put my gums back on track.
