Cleaning Day

This morning after work I had my 6 month check-up/cleaning. Going to the dentist is probably one of my least favorite things to do. There's just something about a near stranger rooting around in my mouth that just irks me a little. To top it off, my gums are quite sensitive, so it's often quite painful during the cleaning. Fortunately, in my many years of bi-annual cleanings, I've never had even one cavity. It used to drive Kathie nuts. When we were young, she had the complete oral hygiene regime nailed. Brush, floss, Listerine, twice a day. It was an odd occurrence if I brushed my teeth twice a week. Disgusting? Yes. But I was a kid. What did I know? Needless to say, my habits have improved immensely, but I still hate going to the dentist.
