#PSA: Two things--(1) #dental health is important and (2) mocking people for bad teeth is ableistLast night I lost a big chunk of filling from my one of my molars. I am sure will need refilling as otherwise it won't be able to grind food as that's the only side with enough grinding surfaces left to do so. I have kept meticulous care of my teeth since I was a kid and even now as and adult; it was extraordinarily rare for to have a single cavity.Post-2001 infusable #chemotherapy, my mouth #chemistry (#saliva) changed and 25+ years later still has the 'wrong' balance for proper dental protection, made worse by #DryMouth from other meds.This means 8+ #cavities per year is now typical, plus the occasional #RootCanal (this means many of my teeth are literally dead but the root canal allows them to still function as long as they last).Bottom line: take care of your teeth, but be aware that essential #MedicalCare can mess things up regardless. #medications#ChronicIllness#DentalCareIsHealthCare
