Weaknesses

Man, I am so tired and aching right now. I did a lot and carried a lot of weight around doing laundry and getting groceries. I'm vibrating.

Today's dentist visit found a lot of small, shallow cavities. The dentist says my teeth are wonderfully cleaned, so he's blaming it on my prescriptions and how they dry out my mouth. He's prescribed Prevident and suggested I buy Biotene toothpaste. He told me I didn't need the Biotene rinse. Maybe the Prevident does that for me? I dunno. I have to go back tomorrow to pick up the Prevident because my pharmacy didn't have it sitting around so I'm not sure exactly what it is. I do know the prescription mentioned a tube. This visit they cleaned my teeth and sealed the chip in that front tooth. They'll address the cavities in the next few visits.

He says he can tell my teeth used to be good.

It's frustrating. I was so proud of my teeth; I had only a few tiny cavities in my life until a year after my surgery. That's 34 years of excellent teeth against a few years of getting a spray of cavities.

A lot of Chiarians on my e-mail support lists are in the same boat.
