Dental Day

I went to a new dentist today.  I really liked him and his hygienist.  It was an extremely painful due to my prolonged absence from the dental chair.  In the end I had no cavities.  I did have an amazing amount of plague below the gum line.  I did a great job of just staying in the moment as beyond the brutal pain was a huge amount of blood.  The hygienist was very calm and just kept plodding along patiently, and brought the cleaning to a close.  I will definitely return in 6 months.  It was the manner of both of these individuals that made me less anxious to return on time.  I am happy to say that my gums are actually not hurting tonight.  The dentist looked at my x-rays and said that I have very strong teeth.  That was encouraging.
