To Whom It May Concern

Deep Inside... MY MOUTH!!

Okay, so I haven't been to the dentist since like, maybe the millenium? I try to take good care of my teeth though but I've had a few problems come up in the last couple of years (yes, I know, 'did he say YEARS??' yes I did say years) and I finally broke down and went in to have them worked on.

Thankfully I do have SOME dental coverage, how much it covers I don't know. I imagine the cleaning and regular checkups than some percentage of work that needs to be done. So anyways, I had my appointment at 10 a.m. today. Is it bad when the first thing the dentist says when you open your mouth is "HOLY FUCK!!"? Haha, just kidding, I told everyone at work that and of course one mr. gullible believed me. Actually the dental hygienist did the xrays and initial cleaning said I had well maintained teeth and she wouldn't have guessed that I hadn't been to the dentist in so long.

They have some interesting new technology that they didn't have when I last saw the dentist. That little ultrasonic 'chisel' for removing plaque is quite the piece of hardware. Even as I sit here now it still feels like it's hammering away at my gumline. As she cleaned away, she kept asking me questions. Now, how the hell am I supposed to answer her with a mini jack hammer in my mouth and a suction tube?? This seems to be a recurring theme with dentists, they ALWAYS do that!!

When she finished up the cleaning (for this visit, I have to go in again for more of that) the dentist came in, looked at the Xrays, and checked out my teeth. He figures I am in need of three fillings, starting later next week. He also doesn't think my teeth are the cause of that constant mild pain in my chest : ( I am unhappy about this because I thought I had figured it out. Oh well, everything that ISN'T causing it is something more to cross off the list, and go from there.

At least I'll have my teeth all fixed up, and that is good.

I’m so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place, to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest.
