That’s not supposed to move like that!
… had my first physical in over 6 years confirm that I am in great health
been informed by my dentist that I needed a root canal
stumbled onto a great deal on a tree and some shrubs for our house
been unable to plant said items because I couldn’t get out of bed!
been master of ceremonies for our Sunday service
and been pulled over for driving 36 in a 25 MPH zone!
So you can understand if I have a blank look on my face when someone asks me, “How’s it going?”
When I …
Oh, the hand of Providence!
Ah, there is nothing like a good story involving a dentist …
For the past year, I have been truly enjoying the fact that my teeth and gums are finally in good shape. And I am not just patting myself on the back. Oh, no…I have objective evidence.
The last two times that I have gone in for my 6 month cleaning, even though it pains him to do so, my dentist has been forced to compliment me on how well my “home care” has been going. And …
Not as easy as you might think…
I started the day working on the bedroom remodel. Since my dentist used my mouth to polish up on his trench warfare skills yesterday, I wasn’t feeling all that energetic and only lasted until the early afternoon.
So, what to do?
Although I was plenty tired, I was too grungy to lay down anywhere.
With the temperatures in the 90’s and the humidity being so high, I decided that it was time to change the main picture on this blog. The snow …
That sucker was in there!
My dentist called me back this morning. He had an opening at 11:00.
I have had a genetic gum disease my whole life. It is most likely that I got it from my paternal grandfather who was able to eat thanks to a complete set of dentures.
I have written posts about the trials of gum surgery.
When I got in the chair, he immediately agreed with the earlier assessment…
I have a problem! …
It wasn’t almond shrapnel after all!
… a painful challenge.
This afternoon, when my throat started getting sore, I decided to go to a dentist down the street to get the almond out.
I no sooner sat down in the chair and opened my mouth when the dental assistant nearly gasped.
“I’ve been doing this a long time and I have never seen an absess like that. I don’t think that’s a trapped almond. I want to take an x-ray.”
A cynical thought in my head that she was just trying increase the billable services. The serious …
I’m your huckleberry!
… periodically bugs me.
So, this morning, she followed me as I walked out the door to go to the dentist and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse…
“If I get my weight down to _ _ _, (top secret) will you get braces?”
“Absolutely.”
Right now, it looks like a safe “bet” because her target will not be easy to hit. Our son doesn’t think she can do it.
He doesn’t know her. When she sets her mind to it, she is one of the most determined people I know. Shoot, she trained …
The Grille is Gone
… and lost. Mine is about the joy of being able to use my front teeth again.
I went back to the dentist today and got all of that stuff taken out of my mouth. The best news is that my mouth has healed enough from the surgery that I don’t have to have new packing put in.
You have no idea what great news that is…
I have had bad breath before. It is not a pleasant thing to realize. However, the packing in my mouth made my breath so bad that I couldn’t stand being near me! …
I’ve decided to wear it
I am in a little predicament.
I had surgery on my gums today.
Anytime that I go to the dentist, it is serious. An hour in the ‘chair’ is not my idea of a fun afternoon.
However, I realized that the dentist also thought it was serious this time. Several times during the surgery, he stopped and asked me if I was all right. All I could say was “Uh, huh” since my mouth was locked in the fully open position. I must not have been very convincing because each time, he asked me …
Mighty Fine Finger Walking
The dentist office was on a horse farm, but a NICE horse farm.
The sign at the entry made me laugh. Painless Dentistry! Gas and other miracles performed here!
In the waiting room, I stirred up a conversation with an older man (that is getting harder to say each year). He had brought his daughter, a big wig with the U.N. over 80 miles away to see THIS dentist.
“That’s a long way to drive to …
