I freaking LOVE going to the dentist!

So maybe I'm part of the small percentage of people who can actually say this, but it's true. I really do love going to the dentist. Were it not for the expense of it, I'd probably go once a month if I could, just to get my teeth cleaned. Having clean teeth is one of my routine priorities. I can't officially start my day without brushing my teeth, and anyone who knows me really well knows I can't go to bed without brushing either. Once in a while, I'll even brush in the middle of the day just because my mouth feels gross. I imagine all the bacteria and plaque planning their next attack on my precious enamel.

On top of getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist, they also take x-rays of my teeth on occasion. It's how they keep an eye on things they can't see, especially the things I can't see. They look for cavities and things going on inside my teeth. For instance, last week I went to the dentist for a cleaning and was due for an x-ray. They found two cavities! I was quite upset since I hadn't had a cavity since my baby teeth days. And those cavities all fell out with the teeth so that I really didn't have any cavities at all!

Anyway, I went in today to get my teeth fixed up. Not once was I nervous about getting Novocaine or having a drill in my mouth. Because I know the dentist is doing his best to help me take care of my mouth. If I never got help, who knows what those cavities would turn into! Maybe black, rotting teeth that would give me worse problems later in life. What could have been that annoying $500 bill suddenly becomes a whopping $5,000! So yeah. I love the dentist. I like having clean, healthy teeth; and they like me having clean, healthy teeth.

Speaking of clean, healthy teeth... time for bed! My new nightly routine:

1. Floss
2. Brush with flouride toothpaste
3. Rinse
4. Mouthwash
5. Brush with new booster gel (don't rinse)

No more cavities for me, please!
