The Lord is so good to me.
People I went to the dentist today to have my teeth cleaned.
Nothing earth shattering about that except it had been seven years since I had seen them. SEVEN years people!!
I truly dreaded going today. I will confess something here. Since my son arrived, there are days I don't get to brush my teeth.
Hell, most days, I am lucky to be able to have time to go pee.
So I totally expected every tooth in my head to just be rotten with cavities.
Dr. Ballou came in and said "You went somewhere else in those seven years didn't you?"
"NO" I told him. He was astonished.
He continued to question me. "What happened?"
I told him, just life, taking care of my mom, and then the Lord's blessing and surprise of our son.
He laughed and said, "Yeah, I know what you mean, one day you wake up and you are sixty."
I said "Yes, do you realize that Elvis has been dead 31 years?"
He groaned.
Fortunately, I had no cavities! NO CAVITIES!!!
So like I said, the Lord is good. Thank you Father for taking care of me while I am taking care of everyone else.
YOU HAVE HEARD OF STUCK ON STUPID, TRY BEING STUCK ON LUNATIC!
SOMETIMES FUNNY, SOMETIMES SAD, BUT MOSTLY A CRAZY RIDE!

God is good... All the Time! Even to our teeth!
That is awesome. I went to my usual 6-month appointment, after brushing maybe twice in that time, and my teeth actually looked better than last time. Yeah.
LOL! I love a dentist with a sense of humour!
Congratulations! I love to hear those words, too. ;)
Excellent!

The years fly by, and the last thing we moms might think of is the dentist!
Thanks for stopping by my blog with the HS link. I really appreciate it. I could use some of your mountain woman strength!
There's bound to be a patron saint of teeth involved here.

It's nice to know I'm not alone. My reason for not visiting the dentist for 8 years was not because I was busy, it was just pure FEAR!
Luckily, same as you, I had no cavities. Whew! I had a lot of plaque in my four, front bottom teeth, (they are very close together and collect...hmm, TMI? that's gross, huh?), but no major problems.
I remembered something my brother told me when I was a little kid. I used to get a lot of cavities when I was younger to the point that my mom had a dentist put sealents on the top part of my bottom teeth in the back. My brothers never brushed their teeth and never got cavities. I was not happy. He told me: "That's because the new plaque can't get through the old plaque. That's why I don't get cavities."
Dumb? I dunno...8 years, no dentist, some of those years in the military when there also was no time to brush, (it's not always 9-5), and I had no cavities. Maybe my brother was on to something at that young age.
I should go again. It's been three years since my last visit. I have a fear of dentures, you would think I'd go religiously.
