*eats like a madwoman*

Had a dental appointment today at 4pm... and of course the later in the day your appointment is, the greater chance there is you'll get in there late. I did -- about 20 minutes late -- and it always takes forever and a day (this time 45 minutes) to get the calculus* off of my teeth. But the hygienist was new to the office and OMG, I ♥ her. Thirty-four years of experience sure does show. She gave me all kinds of excellent advice (Stimu-dents! Sonicare toothbrush!), and I didn't walk out of there feeling like I had unhinged my jaw. I actually feel fine! (Though I have another cavity. Grar. I hate that the insurance won't cover preventative sealant, but will cover fillings.)

I had to walk all the way home because the stupid buses were running the "not as frequently" after 6 schedule, so I could have waited around for 20 minutes for the bus, or be home in 20 minutes. I had started feeling hungry at about 3:45pm, was ravenous by the time I got home. And walked umpty-ump blocks with a full bladder. :P

Feeling much more human now.

Sonicare = the one that has cartridges of toothpaste. It's what I use. I got it for free and I do love it. But again, free.

Oral B - I can look up the name. I think I have it somewhere...

My dad's a dentist. :)

The Oral-B Triumph. I have a $10 mail in rebate coupon too if you want me to send it to you. (Email me your address.) I'll throw in the literature they gave me so you can read about it.
