Madeline, we sure have a lot in common. I too am 65, married 43 years and had a right mastectomy 15 years ago. I see that you live in Oregon, Our daughter lives in Camas, Oregon, such a beautiful area !

Sorry that you are having to deal with dental problems but glad you are working to get them under control. I too never heard about dental trays until I came to this site. I feel the myriad of doctors we see do a good job but sad they do let some very important issues fall through the crack.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
