Something they don't tell you!

Maybe not a big deal at first but definitely can be a big deal later if you are ever dealing with root canals and the likes.  I have a tooth that had a root canal many years ago and then I ended up having surgery on the tooth (really the gum) because of some infection.  I’ve been trying to get the metal eliminated from my mouth and so my dentist and I have been exploring our options again.  The endodontist recommended a dental implant.  A TITANIUM POST SCREWED INTO MY HEAD….okay, thanks but NO THANKS.

I just don’t remember the orthodontist ever telling that orthodontics could shorten the roots of my teeth.  I may (or my mom) may have still chosen to have them but it would be nice to know that as a possible side effect.  After talking with my dentist this morning it seems that the longer you wait to put braces on your child the better.  That way the teeth have time to fully develop before you begin messing with them.

On another note, a much brighter one, I’ve been searching for my original bible for 2 weeks now and finally found it this morning.  YIPPEE.  I’ve bought a new one and use it but my old one has 12 years of growth etched in the margins.  I took my bible on a trip 2 weekends ago and haven’t been able to find it since we returned.  Let me tell ya, I’ve torn this house apart!  God certainly used it to get a few junky closets and drawers cleaned out!!!

(Big Sigh!) I love my bible
