Case E.B, ....

Case E.B., female, 35 yo. Well maintained dentition with no loss of bone. The resaon why she has healty teeth and gum, is that she was born in Sweden - luckily enough.  

Normally I hate going to the dentist, but today was really fun. My new dentist studied in Sweden, and really like the country and the Swedish dental healthcare system (at least in comparison to the Japanese). 

Before the cleaning (there are no after photo...)

And yes, I had one cavity that needs to be fixed. 5 years since I last had my teeth checked, so all in all not that bad. I'm a bit suspicious, it seem not no matter how long since last dentist visit, there is always exactly 1 cavity to be fixed... coincidental, I think not. 

X-ray of front teeth

Totally 12 little x-ray pictures, but Hideaki-san recommended to show one of front pictures, since they were good example of healthy bones. (I wanted one of the cool once with big roots, or the one that have had a root canal, long time ago.)

And then, Hideaki-san asked if he could take picture and perhaps use my x-rays and teeth photo in one of his presentations to Japanese dentists. Instead of feeling bad that I had a cavity, I'm now proud of my teeth, and want to keep them nice in the future too. Time to brush my teeth with my Swedish toothbrush that I got as omiyage.
