My Dentist Loves Me, or More Accurately My Money
November 9, 2005
“Remember when I said that I was committed to flossing my teeth twice a day for the rest of my life?”
“Yeah.”
“Well tonight when I was flossing I think I was a little overzealous. I yanked one of my fillings right out.”
“I told you flossing is highly over rated.”
“Yeah.”
“One day the ADA is going to do a complete reversal on the entire flossing thing. Mark my words. I should write this down because one day no one will ever believe I said it first.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll write it down for you.”
“Thanks.”
“That way when all your teeth fall out from advanced gum disease I can bring it up. I’m loving like that.”

I yanked out a filling while flossing once. I was in Germany. I had to find a dentist and learn the necessary vocabulary just to go in and have the work done. Most traumatic dentist visit ever!

November 9th, 2005 at 11:10 pmAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I hate teeth stories. I always worry I’m going to pull out a filling or even a tooth when I floss. Thanks a lot for proving that the former, at least, can actually happen. Blech.

November 10th, 2005 at 12:00 pmWhile I’m a big fan of floss (yeah, right) I do believe the toothpaste conspiracy is overblown. While I do bursh and floss, I have to admit that I think we go rather INSANE in the membrane when developing and marketing toothpaste.
After six years in France where I had say, five brands to choose from, I found myself getting dizzy upon my return when I went to the toiletries section in the Safeway in the US. When the heck did baking powder become a big dental aid? And now I’m afraid my teeth aren’t bright enough?
Much affection
