dentistry rules

sike!

i went and had a cleaning for the first time in almost 2 years today and i have an embarrasing number of tooth errors.

my name is amie. and i have six cavities.

and i'm whiny and crabby because my mouth is sore after the very nice lady pushed her razor sharp hook around my mouth for an hour and fifteen minutes. and when did getting xrays taken become so horribly painful? i felt like a total weiner, but tears leaked out of my eyes when she was placing the sharp squares in my mouth. she kept apologizing for hurting me, but i had to keep telling her that it was essentially my fault for not keeping up with this junk. she laughed and told me about the baby girl they had just adopted from china.

babies are everywhere.

so yes, the very awesome dentist came in, poked around a bit more, and told me that besides the heinous errors, my teeth were in really good shape. he also said i was more susceptible to damage because of my stupid braces. i knew they were a bad idea, mom! so i have to go in next week to have the 4, yes, FOUR on my right side taken care of, and then the 2 on my left will wait for another day.

the day that i feel like punishing myself for forgetting floss at the grocery store.
