Re: yet another doctors visit

I had amalgam crowns, they're made from the filling material back before I
was married. That was 30ish years ago. Those amalgam crowns were finally
replaced last year because they were just beginning to break down. I had an
excellent dentist back then. I went to Marquette Dental School here in
Milwaukee. I have a great one now and some really lousy ones in between.
Sweetheart's been the one that financially helped me to save my teeth. Now
I just work to keep my gums healthy.

Talk to ya latter! Gotta go floss.
