Baby handful
There is a place I have to confess I have not been to in ages and that place is called the..... Dentist yikes! I signed up with a new brown eyed brown haired penny loafer wearing BYU gradate ...dentist and unfortunately he was not the bearer of good news. This news came after a hard core gum bleedin cleaning and some insults about not flossing very well compliments of his assistant ( I didn't like her very much .... until i saw that she had some amazing brown and orange puma sneakers on ,which made me like her more mostly for her taste in shoes) then the penny loafer man came in to ruin my life by pressing that metal poky thing to my teeth and telling me “when it sticks to your teeth that means there was a cavity there”... dang that poky thing was sticking Like bare skin to leather seats on a hot day . He proceeded to tell me that I have a handful of cavities that need to be taken care. What the? A handful? Are we talking a baby hand or an LP hand? Or like a baseball mitt hand? I think I will go with baby hand it makes me feel better. I opted to not do the bubblegum (gag) fluoride and take my 3rd X-ray (apparently my mouth is narrow and they could not get a good shot of my rotten teeth) I left in shame with my travel size toothpaste a new toothbrush and floss...floss....floss... in hand. But not before my insurance was denied due to the fact that Mark (That’s what I call my dad when I’m angry) had switched insurances and did not inform me. So once I worked that out I was really done and ready to head back to work only 25 minutes late. I almost forgot I got a prescription yep that’s right prescription toothpaste to help prevent cavities.... it's probably the children’s blue kind with sparkles that cause blue streaks to show on your teeth, where you really need to brush. “It’s best if you develop good brushing habits as a child…that way you don’t have to pay for it later.” –Dental assistant with puma shoes …Thanks again for not teaching me proper brushing Mark. ;)

Sorry to hear about the dentist. These are my thoughts on the situation
ReplyDelete1) I think they mean a "newborn" baby handful of cavities. Did you tell them that who has time for flossing when you have 11 nieces and nephews to entertain?
2)OH Mark?! When will he ever learn?
3) How come dental assistants are so wise? Maybe you should get that quote in vinyl lettering for the bathroom wall...you should have winked and said something sarcastic like "hind sight is 20/20" or broken into Cher's classic "If I could turn back time..."
3)I want to do something...can I bring you over some of those little pink pills that show where you didn't brush?
4) I have a great dentist that actually boosts my ego by telling me that my teeth look great and for the first time in my life the dental assistant doesn't berate me with a "flossing dialogue"...if you want his name let me know!
