I do go for dental cleanings every 2 or 3 months, and have been told I need a couple new filings (any major issue I should warm my cancer ignorant DDS about?)
Being a little nervous (=big chicken) I haven't scheduled the procedures yet.
I do get my TSH levels checked every 2 or 3 months, and have had to make adjustments to the meds as a result.
