Bridgeport, CT

My dentist says I need a crown which is a bit expensive. I am concerned that the leukemia may create worse dental issues in the years to come. How have other people resolved dental problems?

I totally agree..I worry about it too. I have had to have crowns replaced. I make sure to floss and brush twice a day. I also use a mouthwash called Health Gums by The Natural Dentist. Don’t miss your cleanings .. before I retired I worked in the dental field.

I live in California and $1800-$2000 is about the going rate. I have a couple of dental implants and they are expensive..alway try to keep your natural teeth. I worry about bone loss around my teeth..so far so good.

I go to the dentist for cleanings 4 times a year. I honestly don’t know if it helps every time I go there’s problems.
