I'm a dentist, no need for check-up x-rays every 6 months!! Especially if you go every 6 months for hygiene appointments

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Thank you! Yes, I am diligent about cleanings!

[@TheBlueKnitter]

Thank you! Think my dentist just does it because it’s free. I brush and floss even day 2x a day for brushing!

[@Candiceknits]

Have only had the dentist ever want X-rays once a year. In fact my insurance will only pay for X-rays once a year

[@heidijohnson3965]

I my husband and I get X-rays every two years. My dentist has no objections to our schedule.

[@joannamartin7917]

Enjoy your summer and I’ll enjoy seeing you when you are on. ❤❤🎉

[@sallyrothstein8588]

Hi, I am coming to the end of my binge watching your series. I now feel like I should have rationed them out. Haha I will have to get used to waiting for your posts. I love watching you, your conversations are so real!! Sally

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Hi Sally, Thank you so much for sticking with us and binge watching all of our videos! And thank you for commenting. It means so much... 😘K&J

[@laurienowland8584]

Always remind us to like and subscribe. Sometimes I forget to like the video if I’m not reminded. You bring us a lot of joy. It is the least we can do!

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Thank you SO much!

[@kathyellis2506]

I too have great teeth. At age 61, I hadn’t had a filling since grade 4 (and only had 2). My dentist only did X-rays about once every 5 years. Age is catching up with me however as I recently broke a chunk of tooth off when trying to use them to loosen a metal piece on my pepper grinder! My dentist said that when a tooth and metal compete, the metal will usually win out. Lesson learned!

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Oh, no!! Yes, that sounds like good advice. We hope you're feeling better.

[@fromknitlovepurl]

Kim, that color green is YOUR COLOR. Have fun with your summer plans, Ladies! I’m trying to not work on the weekends 😅

[@jennifercasunduan-sumi5555]

Hello ladies! It is such fun to watch the two of you.🙂 I just bought my I91 bag, and would love a Brattleboro meet-up, as it’s only an hour drive, and a great excuse for a road trip.😃

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Hi Jennifer, We'll be in Brattleboro from August 17 - 20. Please email us at [e-mail] so we can plan a meet up while we're there! ❤️ Kim & Jonna

[@yessysdesigns]

You will all be busy... enjoy the time away with your family and friends, and love to see Kim's stories on Ig and posts about her trip to Italy. Summer is the season I look forward to the most and one that just passes so quickly.

[@chrissy24-7]

I just returned from a great trip to NC for my nephew's graduation. It was a lovely weekend with family❤ I took 2 days each way and stayed in air bnbs. The last one had a sink toilet which I'd never seen, and no Wi-Fi, but the most lovely landscaped yard, fire pit, flowers and fountains, with lots of little sitting nooks.❤ I'll be going back with my husband I feel 😊

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Will have to Google "sink-toilet"!!

[@chrissy24-7]

@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna it's an adventure, for sure 😂

[@OldeThymeKnits]

Have a lovely summer ladies! Enjoy yourselves!

[@elaineenstone6834]

Have a great summer. 🇬🇧

[@KateColors]

Have a great time traveling! ❤

[@monica-kelowna4355]

You always inspire me! Thank you.

[@mandelade]

I’m a dentist too. Rules in Europe are a lot stricter, we do x rays for screening purposes every two years at most. Six months sounds excessive for sure, there would be barely any change for high risk patients in that time, let alone someone without teeth issues.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Thank you so much for the input. I feel validated!

[@shannonoliver5414]

Safe travels and happy times in Italy, Kim. 😊

[@nwilliams9845]

I agree with you on the X-rays. Yea for you!

[@margaretsamplerlover]

So funny -- I just got my Twice Sheared Sheep order today! Your summer plans sound great! I'm envious of Kim for sure -- hope Italy is wonderful!

[@vickihodge2053]

Harrisville Designs is close to Brattleboro. Wonderful shop - charming village.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Thank you for the reminder! We would love to visit.

[@AidaBoza]

Thank you Kim and Jonna. Knit and Pieces is a great podcast from Canada. Enjoy your summer 🌺

[@Mimiplansandknits]

It's great you are coming to Nova Scotia. It's a beautiful place.

[@deborahmonk93]

Kim, perhaps you and your husband could include the PEI Fibre Festival in your Nova Scotia trip, although the timing might not be right. The festival is 5-7 October in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Thanks to you and Jonna for another fun and entertaining podcast. Best wishes from Sydney Australia (re-posted comment as my previous was deleted due to inclusion of a link to the PEIFF I think)

[@kathrynsymonds9455]

Hello ladies great catchup as usual xx looking very smart and professional as usual, love your new hair color Kim xx

[@sandrabrooke5900]

I will miss you whenever you are not on. You both have such busy lives I don’t know how you do it. I will enjoy seeing and hearing your adventures.

[@darlenesmith9542]

Enjoy Italy/Family Kim! Janna have great time with daughters and congratulations on new Granddaughter 🎉 Thank you for working so hard on your podcasts...really enjoy you two. Always Inspired!❤

[@LadyOfLaMancha19]

So psyched to watch this! I just finished a project at nearly 1 am, and I am going to sit, knit and enjoy!

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Wowza!! Kim has been known to stay up late to finish something, too!

[@PatValenzano]

Loved hearing about your summer plans 😄. Kim…have a wonderful time in Italy…can’t wait to see your pictures/videos of this adventure! I’ll be going to Italy in September with my husband to visit with his family (he’s from Italy). He hasn’t been back there since 2018.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Enjoy!!

[@adeleinoz749]

I'm do disappointed stepped out of the room. Come back and thought oh this looks an interesting box of goodies. Sad to say it was the Needles at the Ready Podcasters Box. I haven't received mine as yet as I live in Australia. Not a Mystery anymore. Anyway long time viewer and I hope you both enjoy your special time with your families

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

We are so, so sorry. Definitely a newbie podcaster error. It won’t happen again 🥲

[@annfuller7082]

I had to go to the dentist last Tuesday and I really didn't want to go! Mine does x-rays once a year. Enjoy your summer!!

[@casuarinagirl8067]

Have fun in Italy Kim. Your hair looks so good with your ranunculus 💚 I spent three nights in a cabin in the rain forest by myself, totally unplugged but there was a spa bath on the veranda so nights under the stars were glorious. Also the middle of winter so an open fire inside and it was just heaven. All alone and lots of hiking trails, pre knitting for me but it would have bee heavenly to knit. Happy knitting and thanks for the fun, Karen 🥰

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Oh wow! Sounds amazing!

[@deniseconsiglio-lahti6443]

Thanks for the episode. I do use technology but there is something about putting pen to paper, writing cursive that still gives me pleasure. I like to reread things I’ve written. I treasure any writing from my mother and father. Even just notes or recipes. The Rota is on my needles and going quickly. Thanks for the idea!

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Can't wait to see it! (Jonna has really messy handwriting, she suspects from all those years of school! 😂)

[@carriemarman9482]

Enjoy your trip to Italy this summer and time with your families…. September is a beautiful time to come to Nova Scotia… if you get the chance the foliage just starts to change and the Cabot trail in Cape Breton, it’s breath taking .. but I’m bias since I live in Sydney… welcome and enjoy…

[@TheBlueKnitter]

You two are so funny! I wanted to buy the Needles at the Ready box so bad but I hate mystery yarn and buying things that I may not like. I read the description about 5 times before I purchased it. The deer is Ray and the owl is Kevin. The candles are labeled on the box for each with an owl or deer. I’m so happy I got it. Enjoy some time off because you guys seem burnt out. We will be here for you. ❤❤❤

[@9LWilson]

Thank you I had bad spelling

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

🤣

[@gisellejoseph2936]

Seashore teeblooks like a textured version of Soltdotna of Katlyn Hunter😊❤

[@Meredith36]

First time here. So happy I found you guys. Liked and subscribed 💚

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Welcome!

[@jacquelynjones6364]

I also feel that my dentist wants x-rays much too often, I defer them as often as I can

[@Carol-Malinois]

Yes, I go every 6 months to have my teeth cleaned. My dentist wants to do x-rays every year. I have good teeth and I feel my risk of getting cancer from x-rays is greater than my teeth being bad. So, I refuse and have x-rays every 2 years, I have to sign a paper that I refused x-rays. At your own risk.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Good for you. I would have signed something, but he "fired" me instead.

[@MaryCordill-ky4lq]

Jonna, love your sweater and blouse combo, so pretty on you. Did you sew the blouse? If so, can you share the pattern? Happy summer ladies!

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Thank you! I did not sew the blouse. It's JCrew + Liberty and older. Would be a great pattern!

[@DillyDahlia]

I also think dental x-rays every six months is excessive. Sometimes I wonder if once a year is really necessary. If you’re also getting annual mammograms and any other imaging, it all adds up. Good for you for standing your ground!

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

It's so interesting to learn about medical/dental standards in other countries. Jonna always researches those things like neutering, circumcision, mammograms, etc. We can all learn from each other! Information is a good thing!

[@kristenrossi6528]

I agree with you Jonna, to many xrays at the dentist. It's the only place I go for a service, pay a lot of money and get scolded. I want to feel good when I leave.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

I felt like I was 6 years old!!

[@michellenokken2597]

Kim, Nova Scotia! I'm moving to there from Montreal. Perhaps we will cross paths in a yarn shop. :)

[@katpraeuner9794]

Love your videos and your summer plans. I'm looking at moving my RV to a new space in the next month or so. Yea me, not. I hate moving. So, you both just go out and do all the things for me k? I'm going to be too tired. lol I watch Kevin and Ray usually, although sometimes it's hard to watch 2+ hours in one sitting.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

So funny. Good luck with your move. Jonna is at home cleaning the basement if that helps!! 😂

[@lorrainewalker9426]

My dentist also wants X-rays at every check up, I refused as I have no problem as I am aware of and don’t want X-rays on my head just in case . My choice correct ✅ ❤x

[@maryellentannervincent5817]

Will you be going to Webs on the I 91 trail??

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Yes!

[@maryellentannervincent5817]

Yay….If you know when you will be there I will come by for a visit. I met you in Maryland and would love to see you both again. I’m in Pittsfield, which is an hour away. Let me know ❤️🧶

[@9LWilson]

How do I find the renunculous pattern

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

Hi! Are you on Ravelry? If not, it’s a pattern by Midori Hirose “Ranunculus”

[@cathkat3993]

I think the dentists are pushing the X-rays because the insurance is covering them. I only do them once a year.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

I agree!

[@juliabodle581]

I was really shocked to hear about your dentist. I am biased because I live in the UK and we have the NHS. I am not a dentist but I am a doctor. I am sure you do not need to have an X-ray of your teeth every 6 months if you have no symptoms, I certainly have never heard of this happening here, even with private dentists. Your dentist is just making money out of you/ your insurer. Over investigation and over treatment is common in private healthcare systems, they are a business. Also X-rays are a form of radiation and can cause cancer. For example, breast cancer screening programmes cause a small increase in the number of breast cancers but this is offset by early diagnosis and treatment of cancers detected by screening. Do what you think is best for you and find a dentist who respects your choices.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

I fully agree! Yes, we're finding a new dentist. Thank you for your input. 💖

[@ellenkennedy796]

X-rays every year or 6 months! What about all that radiation!!!!!!!!!! No way.

[@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna]

One has to wonder about the cumulative effects!
