Very big accomplishment today so I had to brag for a second. I had my first dentist visit since I started flossing regularly and reduced soda.
Wow, what a difference it made.
I got a congratulations from my awesome dentist as well. You may think this isn't a big deal, but I've always hated how sore my mouth was after a visit. My gums always bled all over, the back molers were always dangerously close to gum disease and my mouth just hurt.
Today, only one tiny spot bled, my back moler gums were not in danger and I had very little tartar so my cleaning was super smooth. As much as I didn't want to admit it, flossing works y'all.
I got a tip from the hygienist-- who is also in a local band that I'm going to try to go see-- she said to use the picks in the front and string floss in the back. She also suggested wrapping the string around your middle fingers because you can control it better.
One of my beauty coaches, Kara, recommended a water pic too. I'm on the hunt for one. Now that I know how much better a visit can go, I am all aboard the dental train. Next cleaning is in September. Can't wait to see how EVEN better that one will go!
Crazy what puts you in a great mood. It's been a good day all around!
