I went to the dentist for a cleaning and complete set of Xrays a couple of weeks ago. I have two crowns that need replacing.
At first I thought about it but then decided I needed to get them done while I can still tolerate someone fiddling in my mouth for an hour or so. One is a molar that has had a crown for over 40 years and the other is 15 years old and cracked. The molar has a cavity under it. They won't pull it. I'd have to get an oral surgeon to do that.
So I just wanted to let people know to get any necessary dental work done before it becomes impossible and don't neglect other routine care like eye exams, etc.
I have several other conditions that I need to address while I still can.
