dentistry

So, I have been to a new dentist, Dr. VanDerHoefe, in walking distance of our new home here in Bellevue. This practice's approach to a cleaning was a bit different from Dr. Mahindra's—among other things, they started by polishing my teeth, and ended with some of the ultrasound thing, rather than vice versa. In between we discussed flossing techniques, and the dentist measured the spaces between my teeth as an indicator of gum health, which was mostly good.
