And then how they say in that gentle voice, "Oh, you seem to have some...plaque here...let me just..."
OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!
"...remove it..."
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No shit. Dreading next visit. It's been a while, so I expect I'll get the "Your mouth is a cesspool" speech.

I think you're right, Erika. The biannual scrape-and-guilt.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Mine is next month, so I will say nothing.
I suppose I should get some lunch. My stomach lining is feasting on itself.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my dentist doesn't lie. and they seem to understand that some people hate different kinds of pain more than others. i even have a signal so if the pain is there - they respond by giving more drugs.
umm so I go in next friday for more cavity work. like yay
( i get to go 4 times a year ... whee)

The funny thing is that I'm okay with my actual dentist and with getting work done on my teeth that involves drugs. It's the plain ol' cleaning I detest.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've been to the dentist once since I've moved to NYC.
Starting in April, I'll actually have dental coverage, and will be completely out of excuses. Damnit.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I had a deep cleaning (under the gums) a couple of weeks ago. She numbed me up so I didn't feel much. It was pretty great.
Have to go back Saturday to have a filling redone.

And I know I'm not all that good about it, but nobody flosses more than my mother and she gets it too. Like I'll know she's dying if she doesn't put floss on the list. I believe there's heredity gum weirdness that we can't floss away. But dentists never believe that.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my first cleanings invovled drugs ( the return to the dentist after well, lets just say a long time) -
it has improved since then. go go sonic care toothbrush - and my hummingbird electic flossers, which is mostly silly, but that seems to be what motivates me to use it.
