So Affordable Dentures in Albany offers extractions at $110 per tooth. Still no sedation. Not sure if they have laughing gas. Then I'd have a longer ride home after. Hmm... #dentures #teeth

"Kennedy has erroneously called fluoride 'an industrial waste' and blamed its addition in drinking water on health issues including arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders and thyroid disease. Health experts widely agree that fluoride — a common, naturally occurring mineral — at regulated levels is a major benefit to public health."

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Two second-hand copies of #PhysicalAnthropology books from Cambridge University Press: What #Teeth Reveal About Human #Evolution and Evaluating Evidence in Biological #Anthropology. Taschen had a sale on recently, so I bagged myself a copy of The Fantastic Worlds of #FrankFrazetta at less than half price

Question for dentists, or anyone who happens to know:

Why are we instructed to brush and THEN floss?

To me, it would make more sense to floss and then brush. You'd get out all the crap from between your teeth, and then it won't block the toothpaste from getting in there when you brush. Wouldn't toothpaste getting on more surfaces help?

Or is there something I'm missing? Or does it not matter which order?

DW took me on an emergency kibble run. Just in case.

DW had temporary crown fitted. This one is some better. Cement flashings trimmed. Feels much better. Tooth is live (not yet root canal) so was a bit tender. The bellowing has stopped. Just an occasional whimper. #greyhounds #dodgy #people #teeth #shopsrun

Ich wusste, dass ich Abschied nehmen muss, irgendwann. Jetzt sind sie da, die letzten Tage mit Zahn 5 und 7 ( Zahn 6 schon länger weg) Ich bin traurig — I knew that I would have to say goodbye at some point. Now they are here, the last days with tooth 5 and 7 (tooth 6 has been gone for some time). I am sad #Zähne #zahnersatz #Zahnverlust #abschiedvomzahn #abschied #teeth #losingatooth

Teeth have been poked and prodded, slightly improved on last year’s results.
