The Big Dig

So, today I had a dental appointment. Nothing major just a cleaning. I didn't have any problems to report, so I thought, no big deal, this will be smooth.................have I mentioned that I really don't enjoy the dentist.

So, David is my hygienist. Nice guy, we are chatting, blah, blah, blah. The chair reclines, the protective glasses are put on, the light gets switched on, the sucky thing is hanging from my cheek and the fun begins!

Everything is going pretty well, then.................David feels like he is on an expedition, a quest, an archaeologist dream, like he is searching for a buried treasure. OUCH! OMG! This couldn't be over fast enough. I was counting teeth, trying to speed him along...........FINALLY, The Big Dig is over!

We then move onto the polish with the very gritty toothpaste, rinse, and insert sucky thing (which, when you really think about the sucky thing.................GROSS!!!!!) I then had my choice of fluoride treatments, mint, blue raspberry or strawberry cheesecake. I chose mint. It was some really thick foaming stuff that I had to swish in my mouth for 1 minute...........insert sucky thing. DONE!

So, because I was so traumatized by the whole event, I decided to go to Starbucks. I was going anyway, because I was getting a gift card, but you know, while I'm here...............right!? It was cold and rainy all day............perfect for something warm and yummy! I opted for the Peppermint Mocha and a slice of gingerbread. A very lovely treat that made me feel sooooo much better about the dentist, David and his big dig! I must nap now!
