I forgot how nice it is to come back from the dentist. So many people are afraid or dislike the dentist, but I’m a pretty big fan. Nothing like coming home and running your tongue along those nice new pearly whites. Not to mention having your nightguard cleaned, I mean.. can it get any better?
It can.. all those great treats they give you. Floss, toothbrushes, toothpaste. I even got a tongue-scraper today (Miss Possible has always been an avid fan of the tongue scrapings, she’ll be so proud).
Besides trying to sell me on reconstructive jaw surgery to fix my underbite, the dentist was one of the best I’ve ever had. Using the latest technology, in-room televisions, and everyone was so incredibly pleasant. The hygenist even went to Northeastern and also just got engaged last month. Her only word of advice was to floss more (like all dentites), and went so far as to say that it’s so important to floss that I’d be better off cutting down my brushing to once a day and flossing once a day. Go figure.
The best part of it all, though, was that I have absolutely zero cavities, and the dentist himself said “You have really nice teeth.” So, now that everyone knows more about my teeth than you’ve ever wanted.. I’m gonna go have a glass of red wine.
lol. I had to laugh after reading that article because I was getting all into the imagery of your space age dentist’s office and then bam! Red wine (stay close to meee). Does that make your teeth purple, also, or is it just me?
I wouldn’t say that I’m a clean teeth freak.. but I do appreciate going to the dentist. That wouldn’t necessarily stop me from indulging in something else I enjoy, I guess. Red wine does stain your teeth, but as long as you give your teeth a good brushing, it should come out..
I’ll forgive it. And yep, a solid brushing generally does the trick but during the interim it’s pretty entertaining to look at. Especially with the cheap boxed variety.
If you’re not afraid of the dentist, then we’re not doing our job. Come on down to my office and I’ll introduce you to some nice novacaine and a dope gum scraping. I have TVs in my office, too, but they’re all tuned into The Flintstones.
