Had an interesting trip to the dentist yesterday. Hadn't been in a while and it was time! First time ever at the place, since my old dentist was scheduling something like 2 months out. As if! So, to a new dentist I went.
Right off the bat I had something new - or at least I couldn't remember if the old one had it. It's the panorama style X-ray machine. I stood forward, teeth clinching some little plastic piece to get my teeth in line where they should be. Then this giant arm swung around my head, firing off massive amounts of X-rays at my noggin. Afterwards, I took a seat in the cleaning area where they pulled all kinds of tarter and plaque and the like from my teeth. The lady even questioned if I had my wisdom teeth removed as there was so much build-up in the back. Several hundred scrapes later she got it, after cleaning the blood out. Yeah! And then the X-ray came: they somehow had managed to miss most of jaw, and instead got an excellent image of my... spine. Yes, that's pretty much not what we're looking for. Though! I did get a complement for my spine.
One more X-Ray and some cleaning later, I found out I was cavity free. He did recommend me to seeing an orthodontist for getting some invisible braces. Which I'll probably get...once I figure out what's next. I passed up scheduling for my 6-months checkup and went about my way. Nice!
