Well...that was a very informative visit! Teeth fine, a routine appointment, xrays done...tick. Then we started chatting about myrheumatoid arthritis.
1. Budget for yearly hygenist visit
2. Buy an electric toothbrush : Oral B 2000 is sufficient with a simple round brush. It needs to rotate, oscillate and pulsate.
3. Use a gEl toothpaste as the white ones have an ingredient which might be detrimental to my gums in time.
Thought I'd share ☺
That's useful.
One thing I find tricky with dentist is coordinating it with rituximab infusions to allow a suitable gap. I gather it's even more difficult for people with osteoporosis
It's only a problem with osteoporosis and bisphosphonates, and rituximab if having an extraction done. You can still visit a dentist for any other work and check ups
Interesting,i already use a battery operated one anyway. My dentist just charged me £54.90 for a filling that had to be replaced because i had one toffee yesterday.xxxx
Note to oneself: Put the blinkin' toothbrush in your mouth before turning it on!!😂
Hi Moomin8.
