Btw: have you ever avoided ALL gluten for a week or so to see how your tummy feels?
I go to a pediatric dentist and they still poke my gums till the bleed, but I still dutifully go once a year, my teeth do feel so nice and clean after. I have no problem with dentists... as long as they don't have hat metal scrapey thing in their hand! in fact last time I went, since I've gone there my whole life, the hygienist who's been there quite a long time and seen me many times pulled out this picture from my file because the old dentist used to have a "clean teeth club" or something like that, so she was like head over heals pulled out a polaroid of 3(ish) year old me, dolly in hand, smiling away next to a giant tooth and toothbrush! It wasn't even embarrassing lol, I got to take my picture homeI was lucky enough to find a GREAT dentist- she takes great care that her patients are comfortable and have no pain. I also have a friend who is an endodontist- she's a sweet, gentle person and a top notch endodontist.
Here's a couple of facts that surprised me when I first heard of them: 1) An abscess at the root of an UPPER tooth can erode through the skull and create brain abscesses. I personally have know of 3 people who had this happen. All 3 survived, but all 3 had to have surgery to open their skulls and drain the abscesses. All 3 were left with significant brain damage. (I work in a health field- but not in dentistry!!) So dentists help us in ways we may not even be aware of.
2) I've read Dentists have the 2nd highest suicide rate of US medical professional BECAUSE so many people fear, hate and avoid them.
I'm NOT CRITICIZING anyone, here.
And I know many people have had VERY different dental experiences than I have had.
Just wanted to add my 2 bits!
I felt bad I was essentially a total jerk to the guy taking out my wisdom teeth, I was sure to be extra nice when I went for my follow up, i mean i was scared but i'm sure he's treated bad all the time
and all i remember was a very nice nurse/hygienist/assistant person there the day they did the surgery who wiped my tears when the anxiety started (by the way that gas does NOT help anxiety!) and kept talking to me as i was going out.
I haven't tried... because i don't really know where to start, i know so much has gluten. I guess i have 2 friends i know are gluten free that i could ask to at least point me in the right starting directionCome out, come out, wherever you are!!!!

Helloo!
This is where we are staying in the keys. This morning's excitement was Cici jumping off the sea wall and us having to get in and carry her up the ladder.

Beautiful!!!!
So i was given these peppermint oil beads from my cousin and his girlfriend because she likes natural approaches to things and used it for her stomach pain, and headaches. Initally the punch in the face of peppermint was over whelming, but now halfway through the thing of them i cant eat mints anymore because i taste the sweetener and don't like it.
Should mention it's Friday the 13th
Manatees! How beautiful! Bet the weathers nice
Hey I already mentioned that! stop stealing my thunder!Should mention it's Friday the 13th
Well, looks like my "Elongated" is more a Hingeback. Still COOL! I was told Elongated and she does look like those in photos. Anyone here want to take a gander at her? I posted everything in the Elongated section. If she is indeed a Hingeback, I know this tortoise (small town, gotta be the same one that was offered to me 3-4 years ago).
And HI JACQUI!!! (Waves like a five year old).
I give up on this pretend chat thingy, you guys post 20000000 messages before I can get back online again. I don't have much time or access to innanet on the hospital floor, and I'm busy when I'm home. But I still read the forums and keep up on "continuing tort education".
I did scale my rescue (Oregon Tortoise Rescue) waaaay back. Between busy job, dog showing (I work for professional handlers and have my own clients) and my health issues, I needed to rescue MYSELF! LOL. So I took down my web page, teamed with a local water turtle rescue, and I assist another rescue with medical issues. I also help coordinate fosters and Rehoming and transport. Less torts are being shipped by mail now! Yay! So I have a new foster...this alleged Hingeback. She's terrified of her own shadow.

I never developed any wisdom teeth. I'm smart enough without them!
Oooh! Sorry! I didn't read all the way backHey I already mentioned that! stop stealing my thunder!
Than I should ALSO mention the only I mentioned that was because my kitty of the day was selected because it's Friday the 13th
Yeah, they're scary
Nice! Well, not that;s she's terrified of her own shadow, but she'll warm up eventually. I'll have to go read your thread!
