just in time for Halloween

So, I went to the dentist today for my check-up. Figured it would be perfect timing to have a cleaning before wedding photos... I also had a funny bump on my gums that won't go away and I wanted them to check it out.

WELL, it turns out I have a rare form of a gum infection that is eating the roots of my teeth =(

They are sending me to a specialist in Sedona because my dentist said he doesn't know much about this kind of infection and he doesn't have the tools in his office to check out the damage that its already done.

Hopefully my teeth will last until the wedding...

and double hopefully maybe this will convince Ty to put me on his insurance for after we get married...

That is to bad. I too hope your teeth last until your wedding!

Wow, no fun. We'll keep you in our prayers that your teeth last well beyond the wedding, as well.

how is the stress level? You will be a beautiful bride w/ or w/o teeth. hey if we need, take a look at tom and nat's page. I think karsten has a few extra teeth.

ok girl you know I am a dental hygienist... i want to hear more about this maybe I would know something since I just got out of school and know everything of course (I wish). No I am interested though and don't worry nothing that I know of can knock out your teeth that quick... except meth. So needless to say I think your safe :-)

Ha ha Michelle you crack me up! I love that you are a dental hygentist. I just need to wait until one of our friends is a dentist so he can fix my teeth and give me a good deal. Apparently my bottom teeth put too much pressure on my top teeth and so my top two front teeth will continue to chip until I get that fixed with invisilign (or that is what my dentist would use) I just had to tell you my teeth problems becuase you are so interested in all that!

Well, if you have dentures, then your teeth would LOOK perfect. You just gotta look at the positive side of things...
