11:36 am December 20, 2007Good
This morning our whole family showed up bright and early at the dentist’s office for our semi-annual cleaning. It was tooth-scraping good times. When they start in on the scraping with the metal tools on my teeth, it almost sends me through the roof; like nails down a chalk board.
Good news, though: our whole family is cavity-free this time. Very different from Jachin’s eight-cavity visit last time. (I know, I said I’d never speak of it again, and here I am speaking about it with my big, clean mouth.)
Jachin took some awesome footage of Zoe getting her fluoride treatment. You’d think after several decades of doing it the horrible way (nasty tasting “grape” in huge plastic trays meant for crocodile mouths) that they’d come up with something better. But alas… behold another generation suffering through grape flavored fluoride in huge dental trays:
Jachin also secretly got some video of me getting my teeth scraped. My hair looked really nice today… but the video is just of me screaming “stop running in and out of the waiting room!”… and I didn’t think anyone really wanted to hear 38 seconds of that. But just know that my hair is really hanging nicely today. And I’m yelling at my kids a lot.

Oh what fun. Parley hasn’t been to the dentist yet. I know bad mom. But our dentist told us not to bring him in until he would go through the cleaning without screaming and crying. I don’t think we’re quite there yet.

Gee, with your descriptions of it all, I can’t help but feel the scraping, taste the flavor of the flouride, feel and hear the drills, ugh, stop that!

Ugh, the dentist. I’m not a fan of the dentist. I need to get Julia scheduled for her first visit, though. It’s on my to-do list for the New Year.
