I had a rather unpleasant trip to the dentist yesterday. Despite the fact that i was only there for
a check up and there was essentially nothing wrong with my teeth, I had to endure a lot of that awful ultrasonic descaling thing and it appears that my gums were bleeding a fair bit too. Apparently I am unlucky that I get a lot of "tooth stone" as they call it here and the fact that I somehow stopped flossing has not helped at all.
The moral of the story is to floss every day, and that is exactly what I plan to do!
Ben has all kinds of wierd tooth implements in the bathroom these days, which he has never really explained to me. He is an obsessive flosser.

I hate flossing.
ReplyDeleteI have to go to my dentist tomorrow to have a broken molar repaired - there's a lot missing.

30 min ago I just broke a tooth chewing on a stone (yes, a real stone!) that some stupid Bilka baker left in the bread! Never ever again will I buy bread from Bilka - so Jens the dentist in Soro will have yet another one from the family in the chair this week - fearing the worst...

I have to go to the detist tomorrow too!
ReplyDeleteI have been brushing twice and flossing once a day for ten years but he usually finds something to complain about.
Broken molars has always meant expensive crowns for me!
Good luck MK

I am seeing the hygenist for the first time in about 5 years today- apparently my wierd implements are helping my oral hygene! The dentist is always please with my teeth but tells me to floss...... I rarely do infact.

The K is for Karen, not MK and I have explained where the fuse box is now several times!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone survives the detists without too much distress.
If it will help anyone overcome their dentist nerves, we have a lovely book called 'Topsy and Tim go to the Dentist' which is available on loan (Tim needs it about every six months)

Try buying a waterpik - a sort of mini jetwash regular use of which has a considerable effect on the gums knows all sorts of crud out of the teeth - even after brushing.
