Lies I Readily Tell My Dentist

Dentist: Oh it’s great to see you, how are you!?

Me: (Un-intelligable noise meaning great to see you too!)

—

Dentist: Boy this weather lately sure is great, huh!

Me: (Frightened noise because someone this peppy holding a sharp metal instrument in my mouth is scary.)

—

Dentist: You don’t mind if I talk about weird personal problems with the hygienist do you?

Me: (Weird open-mouthed noise indicating … well, actually, I do kind of find this one interesting. They never ask, they just do it.)

Dentist: Oh I love this song! This radio station is great!

Me: (Weird open-mouthed noise indicating oh yeah, I love this easy-listening-please-none-offend-none radio station!)

Dental Equivalent of Cramming

I saw a friend of mine posted this wordpress post on facebook –

http://lolabees.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/10-reasons-your-dentist-probably-hates-you-too/

Or if you prefer when a link is in the word here, click here.

Number 2 on that list is this – “You come to your appointment, and it’s obvious you haven’t brushed your teeth in days.”

In DAYS! My God! Do people who don’t brush their teeth for days also go to the dentist?? That is insanity to me! In fact, I do the exact opposite. I treat a dentist appointment like a test, and I do what I call “dental cramming.” Actually that phrase sounds kind of gross.

Anyhow, starting about a week before my appointment I begin to finally floss on a regular basis, and use mouth wash. Up until then it’s once or twice per week for these things … sorry dentists of the world.

I’m curious though – am I the only one who does this dental equivalent of cramming?
