So glad it was taken care of and you feel better!

I will say that I highly disagree with you about good doctors only addressing an issue without addressing the why. This is the reason we have a country full of fat patients on a boatload of prescription drugs to take care of their symptoms and not getting them any better.

If you don’t know the cause of a dental issue, it can happen again. My 2 cents from 26 years of experience in private practice.

I wasn’t very clear or direct with my point in that regard; and you are on the mark as far as take a pill to solve it all society.

I guess I meant more like he wasn’t about branching out of the dental / medical field into moral Judgments … still not sure if I’m making sense

Ahh I think I got you. Dentists seem to be particularly bad about shaming people about their situation. I have heard numerous stories over the years where patients were told they needed deep cleanings or fillings before their toothache could be addressed.

Happy to have made that understandable as I’m fairly vocal about the multifaceted decay of modern folk and agree with your previous statement for sure.

They did end up talking me into scheduling a cleaning…insurance I believe covers it completely. I guess it is important to have done but I brush pretty religiously. Don’t floss much tho
