Results Of Regular Practice

I have been battling a gum disease for about 20 years. At one point I was expected to lose all my teeth, despite my best efforts. By 2004 it was affecting my jawbones so I underwent extensive dental surgery as a last resort. Since the surgery, each check-up has been marginal but today’s was remarkable. My first dental x-rays since January 2011 show a wonderful increase in jawbone density. My periodontist and hygienist were amazed. They told me to keep doing what I’ve been doing, meaning my dental care. As I left the office I was grinning to myself, wondering when my winter-session T’ai Chi Chih classes start. I’m smiling even more widely today.
