I had to have a "deep cleaning" today since I havent been to the dentist in like 4 or 5 years since I havent had insurance. Well... This does not feel good at all.
What they have to do is scrape off like 1/8th of an inch of the gums that are overlapping the teeth so they can get under the gums and to the roots and clean all the crap out. then they put stitches from the outside of the gum to the inside in 14 different places, to hold it together when they are done.
They ussually rocommend you have your mouth done in quarters to minimize pain and whatnot, but I decided that since I dont have many days off, and I need to save some for Burbank, that I will have it done in halves. ya, bad idea. I cant eat or swallow or much else.
I dont know if its as bad as having my wisdom teeth taken out since that was only 4 small areas, this is the whole top of my mouth. I am so hungry. Oh well. maybe tomorrow I will try some Jello.
So ya, Brush, Floss, and go to the dentist.
P.S. I actually have real healthy teeth. no cavaties and they are very clean. but taking care of the gums and stuff like this are something a dentist has to do, and I just waited to long.
