So, I recently went to the dentist after a long absence. I explained this to my new dentist and he was cool. Cool? He didn't scold me at all. Not even a remotely harsh word about my questionable flossing habits- although I think 3 times a week is a pretty strong showing compared to the average mouth hygene roll call. He was so laid back about the whole thing that I started to become concerned. My old dentist would launch into a huge diatribe about soda, coffee, tea, my laziness, etc. This new guy is like "whatever dude." Ok, whatever yourself. But I am happy to report that he did not find any cavities- thankfully. I also opted for the teeth whitening system where they made molds of my mouth and then they became trays for me to use at home. The stuff that they used as the "plaster" tasted awful and the hygenist told me to tell her when I was ready to vomit- "oh yeah, it happens a lot" was her answer about puking once I could speak freely again. It took three days to get the trays back and they even threw in the mold if I wanted to keep it- which I did. Please see photo to enjoy my tooth mold.
Also, please remember that the plaster stuff was shoved into my mouth willy nilly so it appears as though my mouth is on an angle but it is just the way that the mold was created. Thanks.
