The Dentist

Well, to be accurate, the dental hygenist.

Scrape Poke Scrape [continue for 45 minutes] polish and floss

He finally sits me up and takes off my bib and says, “Well, your gums are bleeding more than I like to see. Floss more.”

Uh, yeah. Lemme take a whack at you with a pointy metal scraper and drag little bits of skin off of your teeth and then strangle them with bits of minty string and see how much you bleed.

That’s what I thought.

    I’m fairly certain, that unless you have floss between your teeth at all times of the day, its not enough for them. :P

    Well, this is the one time they didn’t make my gums bleed. I cheated and started flossing two weeks before, though, so they were tougher. ;)

    I wonder if anyone flosses once a day. I did for like three weeks after my last cleaning…

    My favorite… them trying to floss bridgework they put in. Dumbasses, look at the chart, there is no way to floss between those teeth. So stop trying!!

    I can’t get floss between my teeth without bridgework. ;)
    Hm. Only two weeks. Still flossing. Check back with me in two more to see if it’s still on going.
    you know, I have my own blog to pollute rather than trina’s. this is more fun, though.
