There was a tiny scare

 Hi reader.

There can really only be one now, are blogs still a thing?

5 years or so? Well I've had nothing new to report, no more treatment related issues, I've got used to false teeth and had a nicer lighter set made after losing the last ones... No real issues other than the usual, gritty things get under your plate and don't eat toffee; complaints everyone else gets.

I still have little niggles of sore gums and my dead lip makes me lisp or spit a bit, but nothing new.

But I did get a tiny scare a month or so back, when the dentist got a bit stressed out due to a white mark on my gum, that refused to fade away, wasn't raised or sore, just a white mark.  He suspected a fungal infection but when I changed mouthwashes and it still didn't go, he sent me off to my old surgeon, just to be sure.... which raised a few small red flags.

I asked are you saying it might be.. and he honestly said, I don't know but given your history we must make sure. gulp.

My history....15 years ago... hmm ok, but it did put a tiny bit of wind up my sails... and I went to see Dr van Geemart again for the 1st time in over 10 years.. He's a little older but still his cheery self.  Only partly remembered me and was reminiscing about when he was able to do ops in the Breda Hospital, it seems they don't do that anymore he has to do them in Tilburg now.

But he had a look and, was very happy, it apparently is nothing more than me being a bit too vigorous while brushing and creating a bit of a callous over that part of my gum. Use softer brushes..

Phew... nothing to worry about... but its easy to get stressed out isn't it.

See you in another 5 years...
