Thoughts from My Visit to the Dentist

I'm not sure anyone really cares about my visit to the dentist but in case you do here are some trivialities to brighten your day.

• I wasn't ready for them to call me back today. I was just getting into the Stephen Colbert edited version of Newsweek. He makes me laugh, out loud.
• I'm not sure what part of the visit is the worst, maybe you can help me decide: (a) the prodding with sharp, silvery tools and subsequent bleeding and sensitivity (b) the awful polishing experience (c) having your mouth stretched open for an uncomfortably long period of time or (d) having the vacuum straw hit your tongue
• Since I now use an electronic toothbrush I wish they gave out replacement heads for that instead of the $.99 toothbrush, floss that lasts a week, and mini toothpaste tube.
• I miss my old hygienist in Davison, Maureen. She was the best.
• X-Rays have gotten a lot cooler over the years. Today I stood with my chin resting on a support while I bit down on some other thing all the while an x-ray machine did a 360 around my head taking pictures which were visible on the computer screen by the time I sat back down in my chair.
