So when did the dentist become a somewhat enjoyable experience? Let me splain.

1) Metal, sharp, hooked instruments of death commonly used to scrape plaque off your teeth have been REPLACED by a water pick that uses sonic waves. What the hell? Talk about taking the fun outta it for the hygenist.

B) Gritty, gag-reflex-causing polish has been REPLACED by an assortment of flavors of fine polish that really tastes and feels very much like toothpaste. Shit, I could get a Sonicare and Crest and do the same job! What the hell? No more chewing sand-esque morsels for an hour after the appointment or DREADING the rinse.

4) Fluoride is now mulit-flavored...but actually tastes like the flavor and not some attempt at a sour version of bubble gum. What the hell? No more tongue dodging! No more strategic moves with the sucky thing that dries out your throat.

What is the world coming to when you can't dread going to the dentist?

Note to self: Stop flossing. Must make another dentist appointment.
