Today I went to the dentist for my yearly checkup. Yes, yearly. I refuse to go to the dentist every 6 months. It costs too much money and I can't take the pain that he always wants to inflict on me. There is always something wrong when I go to the dentist.
Last year he told me that I will need to have two crowns on two teeth that have very old fillings in them. One of them I had a root canal on several years ago. So today when he (well, not my dentist, his partner) told me again that I needed crowns. I wasn't surprised. This time I decided I would go ahead and get it done. So in two weeks I go back for the first phase of the work and get temporaries put on. Then I go another two weeks after that and have the final crowns put on.
The checkup today wasn't as bad as I always think it's going to be. The lady who did my cleaning was very nice and didn't cause too much pain. She did use this new tool that I haven't seen before. It was like an electric pick or something. It vibrates at a really high rate of speed and takes the plaque off your teeth below the gum line. I thought it might hurt when she was explaining it to me but it didn't. It was a little ticklish.
Other then the two crowns, which I expected, there wasn't anything else wrong with my teeth. Of course she said I need to floss more. I don't floss nearly as often as I should. Then again, I don't think honestly that anyone flosses as much as they'd like you to. And if you say you floss two times a day or after every meal, I won't believe you.
I was a little disappointed because my regular dentist wasn't there today. He was at a funeral or something. Shame. He's a hotty. Several years ago when I was having some work done I had Nitrous oxide. I was really out of it. During the procedure I remember rubbing his leg while he sat next to me. I was so embarrassed when I came out of it and realized what I had done. He didn't say anything or laugh or anything. Maybe it's happened to him before. Who knows. I know he's not gay though. He's married with kids and is very butch. I don't get a gay vibe from him at all. Too bad. I'd do him.
