Adventures in dental hygiene

[elionwyr]

Things I Have Learned Over the Last Few Weeks:

* Your terror of the dentist is not unique. At all. At all.

* Electric toothbrushes are weird and - if you have tendencies towards hypochondria - using one feels like you are taking a sandblaster to your mouth.

* Waterpicks are chaotic evil. They will spit their tips at you, spin the tip around and aim for your nose or your mirror or anything except your teeth, and be altogether far more difficult to control than you'd think.

Because they're also sentient.

Water that is either too hot or too cold will not be a good time.

Go in wearing eye protection and a hair tie..I keep thinking, personally, oh, THIS time I can keep my hair out of the way.. and by the end of those two minutes or so, I've hosed down my hair, eye, nose, and mirror, and I look like I've been mugged by the waterpick.

...Good times.
