Thankfully I was taught young to take care of my teeth.

So was I, and I floss and brush like a Mutha, but I still have had my share of fillings, cracked teeth, crowns and root canals. My husband who doesn't do 1/10th as much upkeep and maintenance on his teeth as I do, and never has, has like two or three small fillings. :RollingEyesSmiley5:

Sometimes it is just bad genetics.

I should consider Thailand when travel opens up again.

My daughter's boyfriend has relatives there. They have traveled together and stayed with the locals when they went. The food is fresh and cheap.

It's a really really long series of flights, though.

Mexico is probably easier from Pennsylvania.

A layover in Japan is probably the least grueling (assuming your previous connection leaves from the West Coast). It is an unpleasantly long journey...

Every time I go to the dentist I hope they can just inject my mouth full of stem cells to fix everything.

Wouldn’t that be nice.
Hubby got a stem cell injection when he had his miniscus clean-up knee surgery a couple of weeks ago.

Dental school students are by definition people who don't know what they are doing.

Sounds great until you're on the receiving end and someone decides you're over-educated, over-paid and shouldn't be allowed to own a house, a car or have a savings account. Then it doesn't sound like such a good idea.

Can anyone recommend a good dentist to Steve G? Sounds like he's been burned a few times.

Kinda like the French Revolution... Marching "the rich" up to the Guillotine was quite popular... until they ran out of "rich" and focused on "people we don't like" - and guess what! Most of the people that had been marching "the rich" up to the Guillotine were people "they didn't like". Their heads came off just as easy... then they went looking for MORE people.

Why can't dental insurance just cover implants? They seem to be the best solution to many dental issues.
