I thought this post was about your daughter’s teeth before I started actually reading it. I wrote a post a while back about tooth care for children, where I start off talking about my niece, Z-girl, who has some serious dental problems, related mostly to her first 11 months in the foster care home and orphanage in China. Instead I find a fellow tooth decay buddy! It’s a major pain isn’t it?

Oh God, I know just what that feels like to not have the novocaine work. I’ve gotten to the point where I insist that they dope me up on valium before my appointments. Then it’s almost fun.

I used to be horrible about toothcare until a couple of months before my heart surgery. Now I’m an every day flosser. You can get an infection in your heart if you don’t floss enough….for reals, sister. Floss!

I’m scheduled for tomorrow at 1. For cleaning #3 of 4. Or 5, because I still want the pretty polishing session, too. And they haven’t told me yet how many cavities I have. They know I don’t want to hear it just yet. We’ll get to that after the cleaning is done. I have become a toothcare fanatic in the last month. New Sonicare electric brush (and it really DID whiten my teeth in 30 days), rinse with some herbal concoction and daily flossing. I just went ahead and bought that really cool Reach flossing gizmo where you snap on a new head every time. Because it makes flossing that much easier and that much more fun. Now excuse me while I go treat the hives that have just broken out from looking at that picture.
