I went to the dentist today, to have my teeth cleaned. The hygienist looked at and poked my gums, and said that I will need another deep cleaning, but that it will be less intense [sic] than when she did that in 2020. She also told me that I needed this because I went five months between cleanings, instead of three, which is possible but worrying--I put this visit off a bit because I was worried about covid.
She then took X-rays, and did the kind of cleaning I'd been expecting for this visit. If the insurance company approves the periodontal cleaning, I will be going back for that in late June.
After the dentistry, I went to visit![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
minoanmiss for an hour or so. I'd suggested this because her new place is in Watertown, and my dentist is in Watertown Square. The trip from the dentist to her place is on two buses, but that's two short trips on relatively frequent bus routes.
It continues to feel vaguely unfair that I was sitting there unmasked while the dental hygienist did unpleasant things, and then wearing a mask while visiting friends who would have liked to feed me a snack.
