Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hi Diane, Been thinking about you and hope things are coming along OK with the braces so far. I know it seemed for awhile there that the day would never come. I just wanted to say thanks for mentioning the Super Smile toothpaste from QVC. I myself am an admitted QVC-aholic, and I have to say that, while I would never make a habit of buying $15.00 toothpaste , it really did get rid of a lot of that yellowish staining on some of my teeth. Thanks for the recommendation! See ya on the board, ~Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Cammie - I ran it by my OD (actually gave him a small tube of it and some info off the product's website)and he said it looked fine for me to use; it's interesting what your OD told you about baking soda interfering with the cement, as I have a few crowns in the front that my OD used that special cement on. Thanks for the tip: I'll run it past him again next Tuesday. What makes this toothpaste SO special is its ability to eliminate stains and prevent the protein pellicle from sticking to the teeth, thereby preventing plaque from forming. Since using it, I have had great check-ups and much easier cleanings. :-)#) Diane > > Hi Diane, > > Been thinking about you and hope things are coming along OK with > the > > braces so far.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hey, Joanne - So, you're a QVC addict, too, huh? Glad you liked the toothpaste; I've gotten better dental check-ups and easier cleaning sessions since using it. I gave a small tube of it to my OD last week, along with some reading material that I got off the Supersmile website; he told me it's okay to use on the braces. Did you get your braces on yet? I posted you last week, asking what your braces status is. I go to my OD on Tuesday to get the spacers, and then the following Tuesday to get the spacers out and the rest of the hardware in (bands, archwires, and ligatures/o-rings). I'm also going to see my OMS on Wednesday for another one of those question and answer sessions; I will probably let him do the LeFort procedure, but I have alot of questions for him to answer before I give him the go-ahead. I'll let you know how both Tuesday & Wednesday go. :-)#) Diane--- In orthognathicsurgerysupport , " jpulaski129 " <jpulaski129@y...> wrote: > Hi Diane, > Been thinking about you and hope things are coming along OK with the > braces so far.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I was reading the post and just wondering if these things are related to the jaw malformation? Since they are metabolic and I have seen such things mentioned here before. I am insulin resistent caused from polycystic ovarian syndrome. > Hi Diane, Glad to hear you are getting the lab tests repeated.
