The verdict is in...
Well the verdict was in 10 days ago but it just doesn't seem official until I admit it on my blog. (Even though I've complained to all 4 of you already)
I have a lot of cavities. AND I need my wisdom teeth pulled. times 4. all with cavities in them.
I then was given (or shall I say forced to buy) prescription level toothpaste.
This raises two important questions.
First, why did they not give this to me in 1992 when I walked out of Dr. Hermanslie's office with 6 cavities? (and I might mention COUNTLESS cavities since that fateful day)
Second, WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT NEEDS PRESCRIPTION LEVEL TOOTHPASTE???
My guess is no one which makes it an honor and privilege to be the first.
Also....is Christmas over yet? Wake me up when it is. THX.

So you know that anxiety I had that's been building since September 6th when I saw Dr. Oz and The Doctors tell me how important dental health is to my overall health and took it as a sign from God that 22 months was too long to go without seeing a dentist even though at your last appointment made you get tested for HIV? 3 solid months of dental induced anxiety with weekly nightmares and trips to Target for floss threaders, fluoride rinses, and an electric toothbrush (3 separate trips that is, I like to ease into my oral hygiene routine). Not to mention googling "friendly dentists" and "sedated dentistry."
Well my Monday this week was horrible, mainly because all I could think about was my 6:00 dentist appointment, I reminded Derek umpteen times to be home by 5:40 so I could get there on time.
He pulled into the garage and I was out the door, nearly in tears thinking about them flossing between my molars and scolding me for drinking pop and juice.
The dentist I picked was for the logical reason that they are the closest to our apartment and also gave me a magnet and travel size toothbrush at the community center during MG Days. How could I not choose them?
They also call and give reminder calls before your appointment...did I mention that? Isn't that great? Oh and did I mention I didn't get a reminder call? Mainly because I'd been thinking about it constantly for 12 weeks so I KNEW exactly when it was and had been dreading every second leading up to it.
As I prayed for mercy and promised God I'd never do the dew again if I didn't have much dental work to be done, a light bulb went off as I was about .25 mile away from the office and I called them to confirm my appt. was in 10 minutes.
or NEXT Monday.

April is just around the corner.
I can't wait for April. Last year April showers brought July babies but this year...THIS year, April is packing the heat and giving me oh so much to look forward to!
Let me start with the Royal Wedding. Capitalized for the proper English people that they are. I will be setting an alarm to watch it on tv.....will it be on tv? I can only assume something as monumental as the tallest king since 1720 getting married will be internationally televised. I'm not obsessively looking forward to it, just kind of passively stalking the details like what soups she'll be sipping in January and normal stuff like that.
Also, I have a new niece arriving in April. She'll be in the same grade as my little bud, Lucas and I just know they will be BFFs. Can't wait for Hannah to get here!!
Along with running outside, dry roads, and no coat and mittens.
I also am planning a quarter life crisis in April 2011. I'm assuming it will be me drinking a lot of pop and watching tv, but we can really only speculate at this point. There's no telling what I will be stressing about by then, but my T-4.5 month quarter life crisis that I'm in now involves buying wrinkle cream and an electric toothbrush, losing hair, and trying to stay up past 9:00pm.
And my first dental exam in 2 years.
Which explains the electric toothbrush.
I've been in dental hygiene bootcamp for about a month now. Brushing three times a day, using mouthwash with fluoride twice a day...I even bought floss threaders. (yet to be used). Apparently I train for dental exams about as well as I train for marathons. And I trained for marathons about as well as I studied in college.
Which, frankly, isn't saying much.
So here's to April. To the Royal Wedding. To the snow melting. And to all my dental work to be completed. CHEERS!
