Mouth full of cavities and your souls a bowl of jokes and every day you remind me of how I'm desperately in need
OK, when you go and get a cavity filled at the dentist, what do they tell you? Don't eat ice or pick at it, right? What is the FIRST thing they do to you when you walk into the dentist office? They grab that pokey thing and pick away at the thing like they are TRYING to rip it out just so they can charge you to redo it or something. That never made sense to me.

dont worry, once you get older they wont give you flouride treatments anymore. i remember how much i used to hate that stuff...you have to sit there drooling with that thing in your mouth for a couple of minutes
I was 35 when I got my last fluoride treatment last year. Maybe that's because I had a cavity for the first time in decades?
The worst thing about the dentist is that polish they drill onto you. It's sort of an icky sweet gritty substance that just drives me crazy. Ugh!!!
oh, dude totally, it tastes like gick flavored gooey salt.

It's not like it's a drill cutting into your teeth, or a bone breaker crushing them to pieces for extraction or even that nasty goopy mold stuff. It's the polish, and it's all because of the texture. It's just absolutely nasty.
Last year I asked them not to polish my teeth and they didn't. It was like getting out early on parole.
no...the molding is worse...much worse...my eyes have never watered up so much, and I have never gagged so much in my life, I felt like a complete idiot, not to mention I almost threw up.

I've had that molding done a couple of times and I agree - it's horrendous. That goop flows out the back of the mold and your gag reflex takes over. When I was a kid my neighbor told me he threw up all over the dentist's office because of that stuff.
I've heard that women are better able to tolerate that stuff. Something about being able to suppress the gag reflex. They have more practice at it, I guess.

Well, I'm sure that the Dentist appreciates me, because I have helped many, many women prepare for the molding process.
Anyhow, when it comes to dental hygiene, you can consider me a procrastinator. I try to brush my teeth as often as I can, but I often find myself putting it off, and forgetting about it. However, for whatever reason, my teeth are still white and healthy.

Myabe I went to a cool dentist or something when I was younger, because I've had that molding stuff done several times and the dentist let me choose between 4 different flavors he had and the one I chose (sour grape, lol) tasted no worse than some cheap candy or kool-aid.
Anyways, the dentist I go to now is a total pick-whore. Goes nuts with the thing when I go for cleanings and the whole time I'm wincing in pain because he digs into my gums. By the time he tells me to rinse my mouth out with water, I look in the mirror and I look like some crazy freak who eats raw human meat, bleeding from everywhere. He always sends me a Christmas card and a birthday card, but I never send him anything because of all the pain he causes me with his pick.
:edit:
Oh, and about the Listerine stuff, I remember commercials last year or so when they claimed that rinsing with Listerine is as effective as flossing. But I have a couple cousins who are dentists who tell me that's wrong and that rinsing with Listerine instead of brushing is also stupid. He said that occassionally it's fine, as long as you don't make it a regular thing.

There is nothing I hate worse than getting my teeth scraped - can't stand that metal on my teeth - I'd rather have a root canal! Now whenever I go in for a cleaning, I insist on the laughing gas (nitrous) - that stuff is great and the only way to fly!
