Going to dentist for my regular cleaning, but also to talk to him about replacing the fractured tooth I had taken out recently. I have one missing tooth on the other side, so we have to discuss a partial. Actually I've been managing fine without it, but I don't want to risk damaging other teeth. At least a partial is less expensive than an implant, and I know my gums won't handle an implant -- plus my pocketbook can't handle it either! Growing "older' is no fun!
