It Was All Good, Sorta

Yesterday was mine and Tony`s dental appointments, I had made arrangements for both of us to have our teeth cleaned the same day, remember when they cancelled on me the same day I was to come in last week? Anyways its easier because I do drive to another city for this too. Well, the new dental hygienist looks like Sarah Palin and is very nice, this is the second time she has cleaned my teeth. She is good at her job but she is rough! She will floss my teeth as soon as I sit down, although I just did it before coming there, she is not gentle at all, I tasted blood but did not say anything. Then she announced she would use the water scraper thing, that I hate but I went with it because I know it would be faster. I have a couple sensitive teeth front bottom and I tell any of the right away, no cold water. That did mean she would have to use the old way on those and she did. I keep my teeth up, I brush several times daily and its rare I skip a flossing, so I am usually in and out fast. The dentist came in afterwards to check mt teeth and he smelled fabulous! the kind of good where you just want to give a big hug and inhale...Okay back to the teeth, he was slow and looked at each tooth, I am good without cavities but he put a watch on an old filling. I asked what the problem was because it was in dental talk, he told me that sometimes the old fillings have to be replaced if they tilt but its alright for now. I havn`t heard of this but I learn something everyday. For me it was in and out in 30 minutes. Next was Tony, his last cleaning was almost a year ago, he had to cancel the last one due to radiation treatments, he was back there an hour. But I did prepare the lady for him about his breathing or coughing and may have to sit him up, she was happy I did. Although I did not hear one cough and that was good. He has no cavities but to much build up and was told floss or loose`em. While he was back I thought I would be able to get into a new book but NOOOOOO. School is out so the kids come with the moms, each one had 3. The first set were poorer kids, I could tell by there clothes and hair, one bumped this huge poster in the corner, it fell and fell apart, the child was mortified! The mom had to get in the floor and put it back together while fighting a baby, crawler, I watched and when I seen the baby was about to get some chunk of frame, I got it before he could. Mr. Big came out and took the mess away, the child sat by me and stiffened each time she seen him. I called his name and he stopped, I said " This little lady feels bad about the picture frame, I told her it was okay that you are going to fix it," he shook his head and said " That`s right I will fix it, its okay." Then all those kids were my friend and all over me When they left another mom came in. She had more, the kids dressed nice, kids hair perfect, but no matter how much money any of the kids come from they all loved that train track that we can see from the dental office. Except these kids ran around and around the office screaming, chasing and playing, the mom with her face buried into her phone and rarely asked them to quieten down. Seems one set of kids had better manners. I better get to reading your discussions, this one is getting long! Have a wonderful Friday.
