Well all of you out there in www, I went to the dentist yesterday. Don't all of you grimace at once and you can come back out of hiding. It was my four month checkup. I am pleased to say that I am improving. That is good because I am nearly neurotic about oral care. I brush and floss after every meal and use mouthwash twice daily. "Big deal," some of you are saying and good for you. You will probably have clean chompers for the rest of your life.
It had been awhile since I had seen the dentist before this year. I paid for it. Monetarily and with the buildup on my teeth. Talk about putting your money where you mouth is....Whew! Yesterday's visit was $150. Yikes!
How do we have such great technologies in dentistry and yet the patients must suffer through the instrument of pain that scrapes your teeth? You know that piece of equipment with the hook on the end that makes the horrible noise and the terrible pain in your mouth. They have such advanced equipment to clean and repair teeth, yet at least once every visit. Scrape. Tink. Scrape. Aaaugh! Tink. Scrape. Too bad there is no spray that just cleans the teeth. It would probably put dentists out of business. They need our money too. The good news is you only have to go a couple of times a year.
My teeth are not the greatest anyway, but soon they will be above the stereotypical British.
So remember, save yourself time and money....Brush and floss daily. Treat your teeth like a present so you will have them in the future.

Talk about teeth (HA). I am in the process of getting 2 teeth made for my bottom left and it is costing me a whopping $650.00 (no don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. I did say $650.00). I have only $150.00 to pay on them and believe me, they better chomp like no tomorrow for that price. I don't like the dentist and the sound of the drill makes me cringe.
