Thanks HD. I had my first appointment with my dentist today. She took a full set of x-rays as a baseline and started a deep root planing. I go back for more next week. Also she took the molds today. I didn't realize until you mentioned it that I need to start using them before I start treatment so cheers for that. I'll post as often as people can stand me!
