Dentist happs
Dental hygenist, Dawn: Boo, you’ve got gingivitis*
Me: What!? What the fuck is that!?
dhd; Your gums are swollen. Have you been flossing daily?
Me: Have you been flossing daily, Dawn?
dhd: Girl, stop playing
Me: No Dawn. I haven’t been flossing. I can’t lie to you.
dhd: What the hell Alishan!? Your shit is going to straight fall out. Teeth as pretty as yours should not be this fucked.
Me: Whatever Dawn. Whatever.
Lesson: I guess I need to start flossing
*Dawn has been cleaning the chompers for years now. She’s on the Christmas card list and shit. She may be a tick hood but she’s my homie so it’s cool.
My dentist always told me to floss for the health of my gums. I figured, whatever, gums will be ok, so I flossed maybe occasionally. No one told me about the risk of getting cavities between my teeth until that started happening. And let me tell you, those cavities are not fun to get filled.
