Mouth monsters!

[nonionay]

Went to the dentist today for the first time in a long time (two parts no insurance, one part just being lazy). They've got a microscope with a video screen, so I totally got to see my mouth bacteria. I've got the bad kind--spirochetes, which twirl around and chomp on plaque and help dissolve bone. Chomp chomp!
But now that I'm off my ass, I'm totally going to go to the dentist regularly, and I'm graced with genetically healthy teeth, so I'm not too worried about the chompy, spiraly bacteria.

I wish my dentist had a video-screen microscope! That's so cool!
(Other cool idea: why don't they video-feed what they're doing to your mouth into the tv in the ceiling instead of playing movies? It would be so much more interesting!)

My dentist doesn't have a ceiling tv, but they do have cool Victorian light fixtures. I go to Doctor Hovorka, right near where you used to live on Garden.

The holistic guy in the cool old blue house?

The very one. They had me rinse with lavender mouthwash.
