11 days to go
So why am I going to the dentist after all this time? I guess that's the question you're really interested in at this point. Well, it's a couple of things really.
Definitely my teeth need to be properly cleaned. I mean I do brush (and pretty thoroughly too) but it's just not the same as the industrial cleaning you get at the dentist. It was pretty good 10 years ago - so it must be awesome now. And for the last couple of years (or maybe a bit more) I've noticed some pretty serious staining on my teeth and have often wondered about modern dental polishing techniques.
The staining is a fairly long term item but I guess it's really been kicked off by a recent phenomenon. For the last few weeks, sometimes when I have a cold drink it hurts. It's especially bad in the morning and it's ruining my breakfast orange juice. To cap it all, some helpful soul mentioned that this pain is caused by deteriorating tooth enamel. Well that was it really. My hypochondria moved into overdrive and I decided to make an appointment before I woke up to a pillowful of stained enamel-free teeth.
