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.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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?

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
beth, sympathies. I've been having sooo much fun at the dentist's lately. The filling, the emergency filling, the root canal, the emergency crown prep when the emergency filling fell out and left my tooth all ragged and scraping my tongue, the permanent crown placement that was this Monday....
I am not going back for another 6 months. Minimum. They can clean my teeth then.

I can't even remember how long it's been since I was last at the dentist. I desperately need some dental coverage, so I can get some work done.

ah! dental talk!
In nicer news, I made an appointment with Jen and vw's hair stylist for Saturday. I'm so excited to get my hair cut, haven't gotten one since September.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I tried to make an appointment to get my hair cut Saturday, and my stylist is on vacation until the 28th. I look like a yeti.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I haven't been to the dentist in, oh, 3 years or so. And we've had dental coverage all that time, so I have no excuse except dental phobia and not really liking the only Seattle dentist I've tried.
So. Seattlistas. Anyone know of a gentle, understanding dentist who'd be kind to someone with severe dental phobia* and TMJ, both of which make ordinary cleanings a bit of an ordeal?
*My first dentist, when I was a wee child of five or six, thought a good way to make a child stop crying was to put a hand over her mouth, leading that child to think of dentists as people who smother you. As a result, I didn't tell my parents that I had a bad toothache until half of my right lower six year molar FELL OUT. They took me to a different dentist, who was like unto a god. That tooth is over 3/4 filling, and I've had that same filling since the age of 8--every dentist who's seen it since admires his handiwork. Unfortunately, he's A) 3000 miles or so from here, and B) retired.
