I went to the dentist's office this afternoon to get my teeth cleaned. Everything went smoothly, and my gums are a lot better than they were when I saw here before the deep cleaning.
Nonetheless, she wants me to brush my teeth differently: use a dry toothbrush, use baking soda toothpaste, and brush starting with the inside bottom teeth, then inside top, and repeat with the outside bottom and top. I will try the baking soda toothpaste, but if it tastes as bad as I expect, I will keep using the stuff I'm using now, in order to brush long enough.
She also painted on a fluoride treatment, which she said would be good for the roots of my teeth, and at $47 I said sure.
At the end of the visit, the hygienist told me she was getting the Covid vaccine after work today, which I was glad to hear: that's patient care, with patients who have to be maskless for the treatment.
Also, I said yesterday that my only plan for today was to get my teeth cleaned, so it's fine that I've done almost nothing else except play Scrabble and poke at the Internet.
