Teeth Cleaning Etiquette
« on: December 28, 2008, 07:38:06 PM » |

I scheduled my semi-annual dental exam and teeth cleaning for 23 DEC. Ignoring my genius at avoiding pre-holiday scheduling conflicts ... So I'm lying in the chair, reclined so far that I was inverted --  "Bull*feces*!" -- and it takes a while, what with the picking, the scraping, the polishing, re-tightening the restraints, and all. I realized I was staring at the ceiling, then I caught a glimpse of the reflection of the "field" in the hygienist's welder's mask. So then I wanted to watch the action in that reflection. But then I thought she'd think I was looking at her face -- it's not like I could easily say, "Hey, I'm just checking out what you're doing in there; don't mind me." Well, I could, but it'd come out, "FALRLGALGHLAGLHALRRGLAG!" accompanied by a knowing eyebrow pop. And that would merely lead to more restraint tightening and sedatives. Then suddenly I had the urge to stare at the hygienist. Not because she was hot (which she is, BTW), but just because I started wondering where exactly one IS supposed to be looking during the ordeal. FWIW, I ended up telling her about the reflection thingie and watching the cleaning. |

I have a bridge that the dentist can't seem to figure out the right angle to floss around and will invariably cause the gums surrounding it to bleed. I figure after three or four forced attempts to get the floss through, you should probably figure out the soft tissue isn't going to quite yield enough, without the need for a graft. But what do I know, I didn't go to dental school?
He has two hygienists/assistants/whatever the hell those people like to be called- one hot, one not so much. But his office manager is very attractive.
That's all I have to add. Shutting up and going away.

You should have given her a Blader Industries vaginal brouchure insertion.

I struggle with this all the time at the dentist. I usely end up just looking at the ceiling or out the window. Each dental chair has its own room with a patio like thing outside a window. Staring at the hygenist feels weird with them all up in my grill.

... then I caught a glimpse of the reflection of the "field" in the hygienist's welder's mask. It bears mention that I was talking about the field of dental work. I did not mean it in the decolletage sense. NTTAWWT. |

I must be a weirdo, I just close my eyes. Makes the experience less unpleasant all around $0.02

I forgot to mention- my dentist gives you some of those humongous old-people sunglasses to wear, under the guise of shielding your eyes from the bright light and keeping random debris from flying into them. I think it's just so no one has to feel uncomfortable over you staring at the hygienist's rack.

I'm always conflicted. The hygenists rack, while lovely, belongs to a friend of mine, who is married to yet another friend of mine. I do my best to look elsewhere  As for peering into their eyes for the entire procedure - yep, I'd have had to explain myself too. Although that was probably too late, as she already got that creepy feeling off you 1 minute into the procedure. |

Yeah, I guess it didn't help that I wolfed down a box of Milk Duds on the drive over.
I also neglected to mention that she's about eight months pregnant. At one point, I definitely felt something kick the top of my head. Could've been a stupid breast trick, though.

Speaking of rack, does anybody watch Deal or No Deal? 64 of the most perfectly augmented mammaries on television.
