Thursday Thirteen #447

13 of the most common dental procedures. I'm in the midst of another dental adventure. I had a dual crown lengthening in December and if it heals according to plan,  I'll have a pair of new, permanent crowns before the end of February. 
 
This inspired me to find out what happens to most patients when they settle into the dentist's chair. These are the procedures mentioned most (beyond routine exams, x-rays and cleaning):

1. Filling

2. Root canal

3. Crowns

4. Implants

5. Extractions

6. Bridges

7. Scale and polish 

8. Fitting dentures

9. Whitening

10. Veneers

11. Sealants

12. Bonding

13. Night guards

Did you spend much time in the dentist's chair in 2025?

    Thanks for including the link for your procedure! I have two crowns and need a night guard adjustment. I prefer two cleanings a year, but my dentist has been so full I haven't been able to do that for two years now. Apparently around here there is a shortage of hygienists. I hope your procedure goes as planned.

    I am healing from the first stage of an implant and shall receive my crown in April.

      Yes, the Karin Slaughter book was disturbing in its violence, although it wasn't as graphic as some of the other books I've read recently. This was, I think, my first book by the author.

    All I did in 2025 was cleanings and x-rays. Although, my dentist keeps reminding me that I should get my wisdom teeth extracted. (Yeah, I'm old for this. I've avoided it for years.)
