For the none of you that remember it, I posted an entry on April 9, 2009 entitled, "Flossing." In this email I recounted how dentists will make you bleed at all costs no matter what in order to utter the line that apparently they are required to tell you every time you visit, "Your gums are bleeding, you really need to floss more."
So I had my appointment yesterday and I was feeling pretty confident since I had flossed very consistently for over a month, although I hit a few dry spells.
Sure enough she prodded my gums with a sharp metal tool until they bled and then told me I had the beginning signs of gum disease. There really is no winner here. Maybe just the cold indifference of nature.
