Please also pray for my dental health. Pray I get no more cavities, no more gum probs, nothing. .Pray I do not lose any more teeth. (Had two bottom chewing molars extracted because of bad decay. Does not show.) And a WARNING TO OTHERS: Dry mouth is a serious problem. It is probably why I developed so many cavities. Is stuff in saliva that protects your teeth. Dry mouth is common in people who take many prescription drugs. There is now an epidemic of dental caries in people over fifty such as I, because that is when everybody starts taking blood pressure medication, etc. You could have mild case of dry mouth and not even know it. DRINK LOTS OF WATER. USE BIOTENE OR A PRODUCT LIKE IT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE DRY MOUTH. If you do have dry mouth, use Xlyitol-containing products a real lot. Can find all sorts of products to relieve dry mouth in any drug store. In addition, is a toothpaste formulated with 35% Xylitol that I ordered off the internet. Is called "Squiggle." They have with and without fluoride. I use both. The one WITHOUT fluoride, I coat roof of my mouth and tongue and everything and rub it in before I go to sleep. Because no fluoride, can't harm you. They also sell Xylitol-containing hard candies over the 'net. (By the way, Xylitol is actually an artificial sweetener that is good for your teeth.) And then of course, don't skip a fluoride-containing tooth paste twice a day. Can also now by dental rinse products with intensive fluoride that you don't eat or drink after using for one-half hour. Sorry to go on so long. However, I feel if I can save even one person the expense and aggravation I am going through, then praise God! Your sister in Christ, Lamb.
