Journal sillypixie's Journal: Mopping up 4

So I went to get my teeth cleaned yesterday, and I have to go back in the near future to (a) get my top wisdom teeth pulled, and (b) get something called "invisalign" which seems to be a marginally more humane version of braces.

Sigh.

The funniest part of the visit was the part where they scraped and polished and fluorided me. I had a *messy* dental assistant - and I do mean messy. There was stuff flying everywhere, all over my face, running down my neck... I swear she was having a water fight with someone in the next cubicle.... then when it got to the fluoride treatment, she put WAY too much foamy stuff into the trays, and stuffed the whole thing into my face anyways... foam erupted all over the place... and the whole time she's cheerfully regaling me with all sorts of stories in which she seems to want me to participate, despite the fact my mouth is otherwise occupied :)

She was a bit of a yard sale, but I still had fun. Which is saying a lot for a dental visit...

  • Yard sale... did a really good impression of one when I went skiing last season. Going through the trees while night skiing, there was a really steep dip and my bindings figured I'd be better off doing a faceplant than going on. :)
     
  • If you are awake when you have your wisdom teeth pulled, make sure you get the laughing gas. My wisdom teeth were pulled about 25 years ago and my family still talks about me on the laughing gas in the dentist's office.

  • ...happened to the next journal entry? ;-)
