every three months:
- fluoride varnish
and, i still need to figure out how to eat enough of it, but i'll leave that for the sequence. i don't want to brush with the crest, so i'd might as well eat it. right now, i think i need topical attention more than anything else.
and, all of my stannous fluoride options seem to have disappeared overnight, except the crest. crest's toothpaste leaves a lot to be desired, as i demonstrated. but, they invented this.
i need to be clear: it's not that bad. it's a handful of what might be root lesions and might be root caries, they're very shallow, and i think it's mostly just plaque that can be easily scaled off. but, the whole mouth is also...i'm going to say it's fragile. like, it's not bad right now, but it could get very bad very fast if i don't find some way to strengthen it very quickly.
my teeth have probably lost most of their enamel, but they're healthy and strong everywhere except at the roots. i don't have any dead teeth. i don't need any root canals.
but, i need massive intervention to turn it around before it's too late, if it isn't already.
i knew....but it snuck up on me, too. same old story, right?
so, i'm flipping out because i never thought it'd come to this.
and, i'm launching a full-on assault.
the thing i'm worried about is the dish soap, though. i think it's a good idea. but, if it backfires, it might be a catastrophe.
