Dental Issues

VJ has always been blessed with good teeth , until this year. She has had trouble brushing for some time . We got her an electric brush which helped her a lot, but she can't floss. She see the dentist twice a year for cleaning . She told me this week she has lose teeth in the front of her mouth. Her tongue is always moving which mean the front teeth receive constant pressure and she also clench her jaws while sleeping.

I spoke to our dentist about the issue and she said she must seek advise from a specialist , because she just didn't have the answer . Her first though was any appliance she would install would  not last.

Vj ability to swallow and chew is becoming more of an issue as well as her speech . She was taking a chew able chocolate calcium pill , but we had to discontinue because she could not chew it properly .

In spite of all her issues she maintains a great attitude  . She does not like to mingle anymore , we still enjoy each other and family and friend.

Great fall weather , not sure how much longer this can last.

Life is Good
