Dentist appt
I called my local dentist this week to ask about getting a night guard. Apparently I'm a long-time teeth grinder. I got a night guard several years ago, but it broke about two years ago. Because it was no longer covered on my insurance, I never had it replaced. Well, now I thought it might be worth looking into since I'm hearing that radiation will make my teeth more brittle. My dentist agreed that grinding my teeth would probably do even more damage after radiation. So, I went in yesterday to get the impressions made. I go back on Feb 1 to get fitted. Good timing since my daughter's surgery is scheduled for Feb 3. My dentist also recommended getting fluoride trays so he threw that in, as well. I'll find out what the dental oncologist recommends on Tuesday.

Good way to keep everyone posted in one easy place. I forgot to mention that I realized it would probably be easier for me to keep the kids over at your house on Tuesday since Bo will be at school. They'll be in their zone which will keep us all a little more at ease, I'm sure. I'll be there as soon as I get back from dropping Bo at school!!
