Yeah, it's spring break for us Tech students, and I had to go to the dentist right in the middle of it. Blame my grandma for that one.
I haven't been to the dentist in about two years; ever since I turned 18, the kiddie dentist wouldn't take me anymore, and going to the dentist sucks, so I decided not to go anymore. Then my grandma made me. I was a little nervous going to a new dentist. It's one of those small, family dentist type places. The equipment and everything looked really old, so I thought it was kind of sketchy. But then I got to talking to the hygienist, she was a big fan of some work that I did and was really nice.
Since I haven't been in a while, and I drink a lot of soda, I wasn't expecting good news. I was expecting to have to come back very soon to get fillings. But actually, the dentist said everything looked really good, which was shocking and relieving. My gums bled some, which happed a lot at my old dentist, and they would just simply say I needed to brush my gums, which didn't seem to help much. These new people said I needed to take up flossing, and that would be the key to healthy gums. Makes sense, so I bought some floss and hope to get better reviews next time.
So going to my new dentist was an overall pretty good experience. They're really nice people and seem to know what they're talking about.
But it still sucks.
