Could It Be More Fun....I Submit It Could Not!

Oral hygiene is next to godliness. I believe this to be more than true.

My teeth have been hurting for a long time. But I just thought that it would get better, or something like that. But I will tell you, your teeth just don't get better on their own. Home remedies and self drugging didn't help either. So I decided to go to the dentist.

I made an appointment to see "Dr Chuck" (his name is in quotation marks like that in the yellow pages...it made me a little suspicious. I mean, are you a real dentist even, is your name really Chuck?) Flick's dentist. I figured it would be super fun to meet Dr. Chuck, and it would be great to have Flick put a dental dam on me.

So with a lot of nervousness, I went to the dentist. I have never had more fun. It is always fun when your roommate gets to put her hands in your mouth. Plus it kinda sounded like we were in the navy. I had no idea what they were talking about half the time, and it seemed all so important.

Plus, freezing,yipppee! Yup, that is the way to go. It was awesome. And because I am dead inside, it was pain free. (Really it was, some times things are "pain free", but this felt like nothing!)

So one, half root canal done. The proper name of the procedure is "Pulpectomy" It sounds like orange juice! And I have a few more cavities (saddened by that news, but not really shocked)

So now I am off candy (yah right. Good Luck with that) And flossing every day....maybe 2 or 3 times a day!
