How could it be that Mom and I have dentist appointments at virtually the same time? Mom has to go to Vestal for her appointment and I for almost the first time am going to drive myself to my dental appointment. I should be O.K., since the dentist facility is in the next town over. It should be interesting with George, my oxygen tank in tow. He shall be my traveling companion and right seat driver. One thing about George, he never talks back, but when he winds down, I best be prepared to change tanks.
Mom made quite the discovery while at the E.R. recently. As she sat there in a semi-stupor daze from the late night, she decided to read the fine writing on the oxygen tank to discover the following. If a person is not breathing, do not give them oxygen. I am sure that you are thinking, how absurd is this??!!! Well, Mom and I were laughing so hard, you would think that we were on laughing gas. How could we have missed this missive for the past 2 1/2 years? They got me on that one.
Well, are we looking forward to our dental outings? Not really, but the feel of clean, fluoride teeth will be like a slice of Heaven. Of course, they give you such choices for the fluoride flavors-bubble gum. mint-the standard, fruity, veggie, jalapeno, fireball, licorice and so many more. How do you choose? I just let the dental hygienist choose. As for George, he is like me, though I think he quite likes the taste of blueberry due to the antioxidants.
My reward for being the dutiful patient is a toothbrush of my color choice, dental floss and I now purchase, Prevident, which allows you to focus on those pearly whites.
At your next dental visit, may you not have any cavities and may you receive stickers for your thorough daily cleanings sparing those pearly whites.
