\tI feel like a graffiti-ridden building that\u0092s been reclaimed by the neighbors. <\/p>\n
\tI went to the dentist today. It\u0092s been way too long and I knew I was well over-due for a check up and a cleaning. After the check-up and the announcement that my 25 year old fillings are in need of replacement… especially the ones pushing cracks into my teeth…. the dentist said he\u0092d clean my teeth. <\/p>\n
\tThis was the strangest cleaning I\u0092ve ever been subjected to. There was something that sounded like a drill…. it seemed to be doing the heavy-duty scraping. He offered to numb my mouth, but that seemed wimpy, so I declined. Although I did keep finding myself completely tensed up from head to toe… so maybe that numbing would have been a good idea. He never used any kind of that horrible gritty polishing toothpaste I\u0092m used to. Nothing minty in the least.<\/p>\n
\tWhen he finished, I asked him just what he\u0092d done. He explained to me that he\u0092d used high-pressure sand and water on my teeth to get rid of the stains and tartar. So he sand-blasted my mouth.<\/p>\n
\tIt is clean. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
