Been to dentist to arrange extraction of two 'historic monument' teeth that have been on their way our for years, and have been place holders for when I decided what to do (probably a bridge for one, and a gap for the other). All got pushed back by covid, the dentist leaving the NHS afterwards, no other NHS places left anywhere in Devon (pretty much), and so ending up being a private patient by default. Grrr.
Anyway, needs to be done now, as problem teeth can end up being bad problems for dodgy heart valves, so they need to get sorted & healed.
Yay for being 61!

afaik tooth/gum disease increases the risk of heart disease in general, also suggestions it increases other risks, including dementia and cancer, definitely one to get treated asap
