Dentist appointment the fourth

[wiseheart]

And hopefully the last for a while, at least where my teeth are concerned. Mum's odyssey is starting in August - she decided to have her upper teeth replaced with a dental prothesis. We'll see if she can get used to it. Grandma couldn't.

Other than that we didn't do much today. The cruise to the dentist took half the day, and afterwards we were pretty drained.

Get used to it?

These are the kind of false teeth you take out for the night. Grandma had a set that worked for decades. Then her gums/soft tissue/whatever the correct word is, started to shrink (beyond 90, mind you) and whenever a new set of false teeth was finished, it no longer fit. After the first set she declared that she's learned to chew with her gums well enough and besides, in her age one shouldn't be so vain anymore and decided to go without teeth for the rest of her life.

Wow, I had no idea it could get like that. Poor grandma.
