Back before I self-cured my psoriasis, I had looked at some really ugly pictures of oral psoriasis (all over the tongue, etc.👅) on Google Images. So when I went to have my teeth cleaned last March, I talked to my dentist of 18 years and asked her about oral psoriasis.
She's in her late 60s and has been a dentist for over 30 years. I really expected her to be familiar with oral psoriasis, like at least from dental school. And dentists are required to continue their education for their entire careers. But surprisingly, she said she had never heard of it before and they didn't talk about it in classes.
So I told her to look at some pictures on Google Images. She said she would. I won't see her again until this coming March...
