I remember you talking about your dentist. Do you remember me telling you that I LOVE going to see my dentist. Tell your dentist to code your visits as gum maintenance. Then your coverage will pay for four visits. Trust me. I know this.
I will be happy to see you at least once a year. - roc
American Horror Story? Had the biggest laugh of the year when Lange said that she didn't approve of a gay couple raising a baby, & Quinto, not skipping a beat saying, "Who said anything about raising it. We'll smother it in its sleep so it will be cute forever." Soooo bad. --Oh pulease. Dentistry is such a scam these days. Used to be you could go in for a simple cleaning. Now they call them "deep" cleanings, & are a minimum of 4 visits with x-rays & antibiotics. The "deep" part is your pocket$.
Why is "lunchmeat" one word and "cold cut" two? According to a hoarder of my acquaintance, the "best before" date on perishable goods can often be exceeded by several years. The bloated, leaking packaging, suffocating smells and suspicious colour changes are all designed by the food industry to make you discard perfectly edible food prematurely. I used to try out suspect foods on the cat, but since poor Fluffy's untimely passing I haven't had the heart to get another one.
I fully believe that they push that 2 extra cleanings to pay increase their income. I take good care of my teeth but also can't afford more than basic care now and as it happens, my teeth remain in pretty good shape. Full 60 seconds with mouthwash, 3 minutes with toothbrush and some floss. it works and you'll keep that pretty smile!
I've been seeing the same dentist for at least 20 years. I'm very comfortable with him. He's very gentle and has never tried to push expensive services I really don't need. He's also good about fixing things at no charge if they came undone too soon.
Back in the old days when I was a kid, we were told to see the dentist once a year. For the longest time in my adult life, it's been every 6 months. I think the dentists in California have a higher cost of living to recommend an exam every 4 months. You should inquire anonymously at other dental offices how often a patient needs to see the hygienist each year. Dial *67 to hide your number. I wouldn't have told the dentist about cutting down. I would have dealt with it at the appointment desk.
Well if we're all dead then there is really no need to get your teeth cleaned at all. They are just going to fall out anyway. Dentist and Doctors have no understanding of "I can't afford it" it's just not in their dictonary. They think you are just not getting your cleanings so you can buy a new Porsche.
@mickmusing With a nice digital recorder in it so I can remember things like where my glasses are and WTH my phone # is.
Who's in charge of these things? There must be some kind of government program I want to write a nasty Email, if I can remember the password to my acct.
@FromUnderTheRock they're always chipping off that layer of tartar and whatnot, but after enough years I'm thinking that would become quite the protective coating.
We're all dead ???!!! I knew it !! My dentist is an Egyptian. So...if I see him..and I'm dead...and he is too....then...he'd be a mummy. Right? luv you Michael. hugs, Chris
periodontitis - the full-body attack of the MMP-8 enzyme - is a new fangled money maker and not to be ignored but not to be bullied by, as far as i can tell.
this year, for 365 days, i will drink a cup or two of coffee. neat, ay?
@snarkdetriomphe it will be fine. I can retire to the tree house and we can all be dead there together and watch Big Brother and eat lobster, free of annoyances like bullying dentists.
My dentist is a real prick. My dental hygentist asked me out and I went out and she confirmed that he was a prick. ..so there. I asked her about cleaning she said twice a year is perfectly normal.
Well, waking up and breathing for 365 days is my goal right now...hehehe Once every 4 months? I'm lucky to get one every 4 years!...hehehe

my dentist has never been an asshole to me, but I only get my teeth cleaned 4 or 5 times in a decade, so we both have low expectations.
