I'm full
I got yet another filling today. If this reads with a slur it's the local anesthetic not the braces...
I decided that I love dental dam. It's great stuff. I mean they clamp that thing on and there is a rubber well... dam (hence the name) between you and badness.
There are smells & tastes and stuff going on on the other side of the rubber... well... dam and I'm over here. I like to think I'm in another room. When they spray water in my mouth i don't have to "kiss the straw" to get rid of it... no no my blue latex friend takes the brunt of it all... When they spray water it makes a pretty fountain. I wondered why it wasn't getting in my eyes then I remember I was looking at the world through cheap sun glasses provided by the assistant.
So it's like going to vegas right there are pretty lights... women... (well they don't bring you drinks and they are professionally dressed instead of the random toga, but hey work with me) There is a vertible fountain in my mouth.
They play pretty good music and I just sit there and chill.
And another thing... how much tooth do I freaken have? She was drilling the back molar and she just kept drilling and drilling... I expected either oil to come gushing out of my mouth or perhaps we'd hear china on the other side. I mean I've used a rotary tool on stuff... hard stuff.. hardened steel and it didn't take that long.
Then they put all kinds of stuff in there and they even match the color. There was a small debate over what color would match better. I expected either Martha Stewart in a rather drab orange jump suit to come and weigh in or Christopher Lowell to come in wearing a welding mask to give the final say on just the right color for my molar.
They were replacing one of those old metalic (probably mercury based poison) filling so whatever whitish kinda thing they put in there would be fine, right?
I'm numb now... I can't eat... but I've done my last filling... last one... last... hear me? last. I brush now up to 4 times a day... I floss daily (I missed one day so far, but thats still pretty good). I use something called a proxy brush. How could I get another cavity?
how?
Well see the thing is this filling had a cavity under it. UNDER it. So what else is lurking in there?
no no... I'm full.
