Right, back from the dentist - they gave La Shox a script for ultra flouride toothpaste. Normal toothpaste has 0.1
micro gram of sodium flouride per gram of paste, this stuff has 1
mili gram per gram of paste. So a
thousand times more than normal.
She was a little concerned, so went to the net and found a 2012 Harvard/China Medical Uni meta analysis on 27 different studies...she says she wont be using the toothpaste so she must have found something worrying.
I dont want to get into the flouride debate because it all ends up political, I only mentioned it because it was a bit surprising, something having a thousand times more of an active ingredient than usual. Very surprising. Well, I thought so, anyway...
I had a molar ground down to a peg, to have a crown fitted next week. That and loads of casts and impressions made. I had a big problem with the whole affair as the dentist insisted that I breathe through my nose. Now, after some head injuries, my nose only works on one nostril (handy, as I only have one lung!) and my sinus (partial) and palate have been rebuilt. Sooo...my attempts at nose-only breathing added up to a kind of choking snore. Which the dentist found very annoying and I found hilarious. When I was able to breathe at all.
Anyway, he put a capping layer on my incisors that are snapped off halfway which is great as that is where the pain was. Result !
