as I sit here in this dentist's chair I think back to the last time I flossed. When was it, and how often do I do it, and why when they ask me about it do I feel like a little kid who said Poo Poo to his kindergarten teacher and was then sent to the office. Does NO2(nitrous Oxide) have the power to belittle a person and whack them out so much that the condition of my gums has suddenly become my only merit in life. Oh my your gums have receded a little bit, this means you are going to die a toothless old turkey vulture if you don't floss and brush every spare minute you have. I cannot stand the burning smell of a drill, but can stand even less the comments about how many fillings I had as a kid. Oh like I can change that now you dirty bastard. But I think back and wonder exactly how I got those cavities............ When I was young the dentist told me about cavities. I thought that they were little black bugs that snuck in and ate candy from between your teeth during the night,. that is why you had to brush. Late night snack, gets you a mouthful of bugs, forgetting to brush, mouthful of black clacking cadaverous little bugs. And come to think of it, how could you prove to a child that bugs don't crawl in and eat stuff from your teeth at night. Cause when you wake up your mouth is all dry and this stuff is all over your teeth. I think hairy is the correct term because I bet the bugs get in there and shave their legs on your teeth- which mixes in with the lather and your spit to make plaque. I have never seen a study to refute this, but when I told my dentist, all he did was flinch for a second and told me to rinse as he left the room. Suddenly as he reentered the room, he asked the hygienist to leave and close the door. Then he looked at me strangely as his face began to split and black antennae pushed apart his skull. "now that you have found out we must assimilate you" He grasped my No2'ed head and a large wad of gross black beetles swarmed from a hole in the floor- they climbed over me and all I could think of was--- Do I still need to Floss? |
