Dentists


So I went to the dentist today.

[dramatic pause]

Erm, yes. I now understand other kids' dislike of the dentist (although in this case, it was the hygenicist). She took one of those pointed metal things--sharpandsteelandohmygoditlooksscary--and scraped my teeth. All over. And now this might be TMI, but it was under my teeth, around the gums, and along the insides, where I could feel the metal through my tooth. Urgh.

On the other hand, I now know where my salivary glands enter my mouth, that lingual amylase is fast enough to convert starch to sugar in the mouth (really?) and that I have cavities. Oh, and also? Smiling people are not always trustworthy. I thought my hygenicist was so friendly--!

More dental work in store for the summer. :(



Oh, and also: HAPPY CANADA DAY! I would've posted this earlier (i.e. yesterday, July 1) except my computer is currently not on speaking terms with me and has decided to cut out the internet connection at random.
