First of all, yes, everything you have said could happen. But, not necessarily. I have some fillings that I swear are 40 years old and still in acceptable shape. I have had some replaced and only one root canel and so far so good. I see the dentist every 6 months. As far as your dentist telling you all this stuff, keep in mind, that since the use of flouride on children's teeth, and better dental hygiene, dentists have less routine procedures(fillings) to perform on pts. which equals less money in their pockets. That's why there are all these new cosmetic procedures that dentists may propose to a pt. <BR/><BR/> Your gums may recede but they may only recede to a certain point and not progress to the point were you need treatment. Your fillings may last your lifetime? Who knows? Not to worry. Just keep on brushing and flossing and you should be fine. And believe me, you don't want dentures if you can help it. Your dentist was just prepping you for the possibiltiy of what you might need, and also preparing you mentally to pay him lots of money to save your teeth if need be. If the above is not true for you, then keep in mind the older you get things like pain bother you less, or so they say. Its supposed to be a hormonal thing, or so I am told. You will mellow out and things won't bother you so much. Or, you could just stop going to the dentist and see what happens?? that's what alot of people out here do...LOL <BR/><BR/>Yum, the Tofu rice recipe sounds great. Can't wait to try it. I wonder if it will cause my teeth to recede though??? LOL<BR/><BR/>On the knitting front. I can't knit in a group, unless it is a garter stitch pattern. No lace knitting in a group for me. I went to group with 10 rows completed and came home with none...and this is after ripping out 4 times. Cant talk and knit. I have proved that over and over again, yet I still try.....<BR/><BR/>Hope your yoga students appreciate you as much as I do. Do you use a heater? It would make me feel better if you said you did, then I wouldn't miss you so much!!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Namaste,<BR/>BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
