Dental Care
I went in for my dental checkup this weekend, and it was surprisingly simple and painless. I hadn't visited a dentist in nearly two years, so I braced myself for the worst. Not only am I cavity-free, but the cleaning and exam were over before I knew it. All that obsessive brushing, flossing, and Listerine use pays off after all.
What really impressed me on this visit, though, was that my dentist used an ultrasonic cleaning implement instead of that scary metal hook-like implement I've resigned myself to over the years. No more cringing at the scraping and grinding of metal on enamel. So I'm sitting there in this dentist chair and I'm thinking to myself, "yeah baby... this is what technology is all about. My quality of life just improved a notch because of ultrasound."
And that is something to smile about.

Am I crazy? I actually liked that metal on enamel feeling. It told you that they really were cleaning, big-time.

God, I can not stand the ultrasonic cleaner. It sends vibrations through my skull, creating a really high pitched squeal from within. I much rather prefer the hand extraction tool.

I hate that metal thing! Ugh.
But the worst is that tooth polish they use. Its got that grainy, sandy texture to it. Blech.

Anyone have a recommendation of a dentist to do a root canal?
