050603 - Russ took a small set of xrays to supplement information developed
050604 - from the prior examination on 000513, ref SDS 5 0001, and the prior
050605 - visit on 990915. ref SDS 3 0001
050607 - ..
050608 - Russ did the cleaning and found two large chunks of calcium on the
050609 - front lower teeth. He urged greater care to avoid this problem.
050611 - ..
050612 - Russ recommended considering dental visits every 4 months instead of
050613 - every 6 months, as a precaution to reduce the impact of this new
050614 - problem.
050616 - ..
050617 - Russ noted that using an electronic tooth brush, Oral B/Braum,
050618 - manufactured by would help avoid the build up, and make unnecessary
050619 - the extra dental visit. At this time we decided to continue the 6
050620 - month schedule.
050622 - ..
050623 - Steve did an examination after the cleaning. He said there are no
050624 - cavities and no indication of other problems, based on visual
050625 - inspection and review of the new xrays taken today.

240402 - Periodontal Exam Consideration in 18 Months
240403 -
240404 - Steve suggested that in another 18 months or so we need to visit the
240405 - periodontist to follow up examination on 990503 that showed continued
240406 - improvement in gums. ref SDS 2 3750 He did not report finding any
240407 - visual indications of gum problems, and there have been no evident
240408 - signs of problems, such as bleeding gums or other discomfort, as
240409 - occurred previously, when periodontal work was completed on 880419.

250403 -
250404 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0001.
250405 -
250406 - I mentioned the occlusal issue that is a $400 charge from Steve's
250407 - office.
250409 - ..
250410 - Explained have not been able to wear the night guard because it
250411 - causes gum irritaiton.
250413 - ..
250414 - Steve said he sees continued evidence of teeth grinding, but is not
250415 - sure if it is any worse that previously. If it is not worse, that
250416 - means that prior grinding has stopped and the night guard is not
250417 - necessry.
250419 - ..
250420 - Steve suggested I try the night guard again. If it is still
250421 - uncomfortable, bring it in and they will modify it to eliminate that
250422 - problem.
250424 - ..
250425 - Steve advised that we can tell if the night guard is needed by looking
250426 - for evidence of wear on the night guard. If there is no significant
250427 - wear, that will mean the prior grinding has stopped.
250429 - ..
250430 - Steve said the charge of $400 is incorrect. he said the the amount he
250431 - put in the chart was $175, but someone incorrectly wrote over his
250432 - figure the amount of $400. He entered a credit of $225 in the chart.
250433 - The office will send a revised invoice for $175.
