I go once a year for a check up and every four months to the hygienist, she is also trained to have a good look around, Iād rather do that than leave something undetected.Ā

I go roughly once a year since we managed to find an NHS dentist. Prior to that I hadn't been in several years, but no problem when I did go.Ā Haven't seen a hygienist in years.Ā Any minor scaling and polishing is done by the dentist.
Sorry for your brotherās acquaintance, Dove, and he had a lucky escape himself. Nevertheless, mouth cancer is not that common, by far the biggest killer is lung cancer (I think that applies regardlessĀ of whether you smoke) and we donāt all go and get a lung scan once a year - that, to me, would be more logical in terms of prevention and I would rather spend my money on that than dentists, but everyone else, feel free...
Itās the evangelists, shoving it down your throat, so to speak, that get me curmudgeonly. I have a dear friend who drives me nuts going on about it - is always at the dentist getting stuff done, flosses and twizzles 2-3 times a day, has had so much corrective dentistry, fillings, crowns, you name it and Iām sure thatās the reason he has terrible teeth! So no nagging, OK? Mine are just fine ta very much!

Whilst I fully appreciate that for most people the regular check-ups/hygienist visits are irksome, when the system works, trust me, you'd be grateful. It was my dentist who noticed a large white patch on a routine X-ray.Ā It turned out to be a side effect of taking Alendronic Acid (for osteopenia -Ā a precursor to osteoporosis).Ā A known side effect is osteonecrosis - the decay of bone in the jaw.Ā An early spot was fortunate.Ā Some, less fortunate, have had large areas of jaw bone removed.

Whilst idly scrolling through online recipes, I noticed some for 'repurposed' food . This looks interesting, says I -rice pudding into wallpaper paste? scone rockery? baked bean facepack ? Nope. I reckon if it's still for eating, it's not repurposed. It's leftovers.
