I went to the dentist Tuesday just gone. I worry about my teeth and hate going to the dentist. But boy oh boy am I glad I have all my teeth (with a few root canals). My mum had all hers ripped out when she was in her late teens/early 20s (now why the hell would a dentist try to preserve the teeth of a working class woman who didn't think she deserved anything better?) and my dad had all his removed in his 20s?30? So, teeth freak me out a bit.
All I had to have done though, were two fillings and one crown needing covering at the gum. My gums are in pretty good condition - almost 0% gum disease, and teeth overall are ok. Later on, I'm going to get my gold crowns replaced with porcelain and since it's so reasonable, might have a couple of veneers put on. It's one of the great things about being in Asia, the kind of teeth care I get here is really expensive back home.
