Veronica, are those old fillings hurting you? I have been round and round with my new-ish dentist about this. I only have 6 or so fillings. Three have been replaced. She is constantly hucking me to get this work done. I finally sent her an email telling her to stop, already... my main dental concern is my gums, since I have hereditary factors there. This got me a "special visit" into her office when I was there earlier in June (I go 4x a year for cleanings). We settled on, if it's not hurting and she doesn't see any changes, she won't bring it up. I find her new style of dentistry annoying. I don't want a hot towel or a neck massage, nor do I want Pandora to listen to music. Ditto being friends on Facebook. She gave my DH the same speech and when he had one filling replaced, it turned out to be some horrible complication, that necessitated going to a periodontist, getting permission from his cardiologist because of his meds, and it lasted a year!
I am all for prevention, but, geez, I think it's more dollar signs. Plus, she pissed me off when she told me she thought it was just DH going on the trip to Spain and that she didn't realize that I "did all of that riding."
Other than that, I would tell myself not to have married that first husband and maybe not to have transferred colleges so many times, to follow said person.
