So today I spent THREE HOURS in a dentist's chair, most of which had my mouth filled with a junk yards worth of metal. Believe it or not, I have to go back for more! Only five out of seven filling were completed, two more to be done on Friday. Then I have a root canal to look forward to in the near future.
Despite this, the dentist(She is very sweet.)and the rest of her 'crew' say I have gorgeous teeth. My parents should feel proud, given the amount of money they put into having metal glued to my teeth just so my smile could be so 'gorgeous'. Of course, I take credit for 'the beautiful color' of my teeth. Thank you Colgate whitening toothpaste, too bad you're loaded with sugar thus my discontinued my use of you.
Instead, I have started using Tom's of Maine toothpaste, a brand that the boyfriend thought I was never aware of because I didn't grow up on an island (Vashon) that is known for its affinity for potheads and extreme naturalists of all types. Believe it or not, I did contemplate forgoing this brand because I associate it with a general disdain for my conservative Montana background, but I will use whatever hell toothpaste I want.
Who knew teeth could be so political? Don't think teeth are interesting? YOU have six inch syringes stuck in your gums, drills pushed into your teeth for three hours, and then be unable to drink water without slobbering all over your self for another five hours and see if you can think about anything else besides your teeth. That's what I thought. Don't forget to floss. Be careful, it might change your politics.
