Breaking News

The dentist used a camera hooked up to a television to show me the inside of my mouth.

It occurs to me some people might not appreciate this, but I was into it.

I was asked if I used to be bulimic due to the evidence of "old enamel erosion on the upper front teeth"(negative), admonished to floss better (sorry, Theresa !), and made aware of a nevi (like a mole for your gums) that could be removed if it "bothers me, cosmetically".

Since I didn't know it was there and still don't think I can honestly say I see it that would be a negative.

I do have a filling that needs to be replaced. Not terribly shocking considering the couple of fillings I have have been hanging around since elementary school.

I know that you feel much better having been thoroughly briefed on the state of my dentition.

You're welcome.

I'll let it slide. Guess I should send you some floss since I was gonna send some homemade apple butter, then you went and made your own. Miss you.
