My Teeth & I Thank You, Dr. B

Went for my dental appointments this mornign, first with my dentist, then the hygienist.

I had this ugly silver filling on one of the molars from back China. There was a mark of decay underneath. Dr. B froze half of my face and started drilling and filling. Within 15 minutes, it was all done. I couldn't even find where he had worked on. Here, they even have different shades of filling materials to match the real color of your teeth. Amazing!

Mostly I only visit dental office for tooth-cleaning: Teresa would do the scaling, scraping and "scolding" me for not flossing enough. By the way, I got less of the "scolding" today, something to do with brushing with Sienna every evening and flossing more. The fact is, for over a decade and half, I didn't get as much dental work done as I did in two to three years back home. I have to admit dental work is one of the most amazing parts of the Western world.
