Today is my actual dentist appointment

Wish me luck

It’s much better to read text about going to the dentist, I hope it was a rewarding trip

I’ve never liked talking about dentists or teeth... but ive realized now, it’s partially because i would be inadvertently looking at the persons’ mouth talking as they are describing their dental problem.

My dentist keeps texting me that I am overdue for my annual check up. Currently I am ignoring him, but I know the inevitable appointment must be made.

I feel you guys.

She's still going. Just inane, banal nothingness. Mostly designed to hide the fact that the management doesn't plan on addressing any of the actual issues.

Apparently my hearing is perfect. She did say that once we hit 40, our brains don’t process sounds as well, so while nothing is wrong with my ears, my mind is becoming more and more feeble, which I already knew.

I also mentioned hearing a low static like sound when it’s completely quiet at night. She said it can be caused by the jaw muscles, common with teeth grinders, which I recently found out I am. :gomez:
