The dentist usually LOVES me, man.
A recent trip to the dentist held some enlightening information --
The nurse yelled at me for not flossing.
First of all, she never yells, she coos. Secondly, I am one of those kids where they would show my teeth to OTHER kids and tell them that I'm doing a good job and they should do the same. Don't think I'm some teeth deity. I naturally have amazing enamel and I eat more vegetables than you. (probably)
I believe her exact words were "Your brushing is impeccable so I KNOW you care about your teeth. STEP UP AND FLOSS ALREADY. Whatever you're doing is not good enough. Your gums are a DISASTERRR!" YEAH?! THEY LOOK FINE TO ME, LADY!
And then they bring in the dentist to double check or "ooo and ahhh" for what I'm used to.
He did, per usual, until as he was leaving said "Yeah, everything is simply beautiful, but you should stop using too much toothpaste." HOW THE EFF DO YOU KNOW I LIKE USING MORE THAN A PEA-SIZED AMOUNT, DR. V?!!??! Then he told me why...
YOU CAN'T LIE TO YOUR DENTIST, YOU GUYS!!! THEY ALREADY KNOW! YOUR GUMS GIVE YOU AWAY!
Dammit, gums. I thought we were cool.
