Wink Taking care of teeth

Since my platelets are around 150, I decided to have my teeth checked. Oh dear, 3 cavities ( 2 molars and 1 in the front)! How can that be when I brush and do the mouth regimen so diligently?

It all comes down to a compromised immune system. I am still on cyclosporine.
I had one root canal done today. With anesthesia, it was painless. Glad to know that I have enough platelets to let me have regular visits to the good dentist.
