Much time have passed since I stopped using tooth paste and mouth desinfectants. More exact more than forty years. I have visited the dentist less than ten times, a wisdom tooth is removed, another tooth has been filled twice when an old amalgam filling loosened. Some times have I just wanted to controll my teeth.

​

I have to tell of a visit some four years ago:

​

I hadn't been to the dentist in many years.

I recognized him, he had forgotten who I was.

He began to reproach me: "It seems to me that you  do not care of your teeth, because you have not been to any controll for years. If you want to have help from me, you have to come regularly!"

​

I answered: " I have been treated by you earlier. Last time  you filled one tooth and put some metal stick in it."

​

He said: "It's ten years ago I ceased with using sticks in fillings!"

​

He X-rayed my teeth, and saw the metal: "You are right, I see the metal stick!"

​

He asked the nurse to look at the fotos: "Have you seen: there are no new holes, no tartar, no gingivitis! "  

He added to me: "Your teeth are made of concrete! There is nothing for me to do, exept that one filling that is loose. You have taken good care of your teeth!"

​

When the dentist left the room, I said to the nurse: " May I confess that I use only water when I brush my teeth?"

"The main thing is that you brush regularly", she answered.

​

We agreeded that I come every 18:th month for controll. I've been twice, but have had no work for the dentist!
