My uncle Mic’s toothbrush

admin    Health     toothbrush, uncle

About a year ago, my uncle was diagnosed with dental caries which is a disease where bacteria attacks the tooth structure, destroying it through decay and cavities. The cementum, dentin and enamel tissues start to disintegrate and if not treated, the teeth can fall out and the infection can spread throughout the body. Then, if need be, dental implants Glasgow have to step in. I know all about this because my friend studied Cariology to play a role in a skit called “My cell or your cavity”.

My uncle Mic used to just go to the dentist once a year for teeth whitening, and just used home kits in between. So it came as white a shock to him to learn at his last appointment with his dentist Glasgow that he has dental caries. He looked snow white when he came home and told us. More because of his fear of dental treatments beyond the basics of teeth whitening.

He kept saying: “But I do everything they told me to do! I brush with the brush the dentist gave me!  How does this happen in one year?!” After he ranted and raved for about twenty minutes, my aunt Roda said: “Yeah, but Roger, it’s not about the size of the brush or even where it came from, it’s about what you do with it!”
