Root Canal...
Comments (11)Mush, I'm sure I was told not to wait longer than a year to get a crown on, that the temp they do wasn't meant to last forever. On the other hand, I'd wanted crowns on my 4 front uppers (cosmetic) and my dentist convinced me to try veneers first since they do less initial damage to teeth than putting a crown on does. At the time they told me veneers could last up to 10 years, depending on the types of foods you subject your teeth to...mine have been on for 19, with no problems. The dentist is very impressed! As for a root canal, I had one done on a molar that had given me on again, off again grief for years. Do not relish getting that done again. Yet periodically the area will give me pain, usually after I've chewed something REALLY chewing, or this past session over Christmas was brought on by eating almonds (I think). I still worry that I'll be in that 1% that have a tooth that fails, and then I don't know what I'll do, since I need that tooth there!...See MoreRoot Canal issues
Comments (44)How do you deal with your dentist? This is what happens at my dentist's office. I go in for teeth cleaning. I always request this Ukrainian woman whom I feel does a good job. She takes X-rays of my teeth. She then cleans my teeth. Then she says she's going to bring in the dentist to examine my teeth, in case there are any problems. When the dentist pops into the room and looks at my teeth, she always finds problems. Two years ago, the dentist said I needed a root canal on one of my molars. Due to how expensive a root canal is, I only got around to having the root canal done last month. And I did not have my dentist do it. Instead, I went to Boston University's dental school for the procedure. It was much cheaper because it was done by a dental student under the supervision of a faculty member. On Monday I went to my regular dentist for cleaning. This time she found a couple of teeth that need fillings. But here's the big one: She feels that one of my lower back teeth needs a crown. I told her point blank that if I need a crown I'm returning to Boston University for I cannot afford her rates. In terms of the regular fillings, I can afford her but I'm wondering whether I really need them. I'm curious how other people handle their dentists. Do you simply go along with what your dentist suggests in terms of work that needs to get done on your teeth?...See MoreIt has arrived..New Zealand Lemonade
Comments (83)Laura, you enabler you! ! :D The Giant Key Lime was one citrus I have seriously considered ordering. I have two Mexican Key Limes, a Kaffir, and a Bearss Lime currently, after I receive my next order from Harris, hopefully later this week, I still want to place an order later this fall with Four Winds for Santa Teresa Lemon and Bergamot Sour Orange etc.. My collection is increasing and I want to make sure I get the ones I have been coveting and that I have room for all of them come winter. After that, if they make it through the winter alright, and my hubby and I finish building another upcycled GH, I will possibly add a few more... Hobby, thank you for the concern about the soil settling and the roots showing. :) I actually filled the pots up just a bit under the rim so I would still have room to water without overflow.The pot on the right had more roots showing than I would like, so I did cover them up a bit more this morning after I watered. I don't mind having a few roots showing though. From what I researched and read, the Bearss Lemon cultivator was selected in a Grove in FL. The parent tree was planted in 1892, supposedly. Description: Is a fast growing tree, very productive, very fragrant blooms and bears an abundance of very juicy acidic fruit July through December. Tree is vigorous, thorny, and sensitive to cold. Bearss out produces both Eureka and Lisbon. The flavor is outstanding. Has up to six seeds per fruit. A true lemon. This lemon is grown in Brazil, much appreciated for its fragrance, . Most of the crop is eaten fresh, some is used for rind oil. I read a lot of positive reviews on the Bearss and heard the fruit has outstanding flavor and slightly larger than Eureka. Win Win for me!! Hobby, the Baboon Lemon would be a good one to add to your list also.. the leaves smell divine!! :)...See MoreAH Hoyas order has arrived!
Comments (38)Popmama, the super chunky mix I use forces me to water 2x a day! The water drains right through but doesn't "stay" long enough to fully wet and saturate all the big chunks. I had tried it thinking it would be better during the summer because I tend to over water my plants, but it's become a pain in the butt. I'm in the process of repotting my plants into something finer, which would hold moisture longer. I also have a lot of my plants in 4" net pots containing this chunky mix. I'm now taking those net pots and placing them inside 6" plastic pots, which will have a finer mix filling the gap around the 4" pot. Your plant probably dried out a little. Maybe add some humidity? A little dome out of a cut soda bottle as a small terrarium? Keep us posted as to how it's doing. Best wishes for you.......See More
