Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Sigh. My twice-yearly trip to the dental hygienist is never fun, so I'd steeled myself for the usual bollocking as I sat in the waiting room. (I've mentioned previously I actually moved practices to get away from her, only to find she'd followed me to the new one). Appointments are scheduled to last half an hour... 15 minute for the actual work, 10 minute lecture at the end, and presumably the final 5 minutes to floss her broomstick. It started quite well. She was 10 minutes late in, which would surely mean that the 10 minutes lecture reserved would be cut short. I also turned on the charm early doors - after she remarked she'd been in the business 30 years, I enquired whether she started work when she was 5 years old. When you go to a garage or a dry cleaners, you don't get lambasted for how you run your motor or how you treat your clothes. Even the doctor will politely suggest you cut down on the fags / booze / crystal meth and leave it at that. Yet the whole time she spent scaling and polishing, she was issuing dark warnings about the need for flossing (just for the record, I do do it - although apparently I'm doing it wrong). Another highlight was her jabbing my gums with what looked like a scalpel, then remarking "your gums are bleeding". Then at the end, she said with a straight face "I'm afraid it's time to start nagging you". Cue another 10 minute belittling diatribe, including pictures of diseased gums and phrases like "you only get one set of teeth". And just to cap off the misery, she declared "I'm booking you in for another appointment in three months time". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Seriously, tell her to go f**k herself with a rabid badger. You're paying for a service, not a sermon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted, but it's hard to with your mouth full, and once it's over, you're just wanting to get out of there. But I am going to change practices again. Hopefully she won't follow me there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hygenist, whilst not the utter boot yours sounds, used to generally give me a hard time about my flossing regime. This is most down to the fact that whilst my teeth are fine, they are very close together, overlapping in some cases, and the tartar builds up pretty quickly if i don't floss regularly. I invested in one of those waterpik flossing thingumyjigs that floss your teeth with a thin jet of water. My next trip to the hygenist was met with a verbal pat on the head as to the improvement in the build up. So if you want yours to shut the f**k up (and have really nice teeth) get yourself one of those things.

Enigma Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Dentist said last time I went I had the cleanest teeth he'd seen all week. No fillings either. Edited May 28, 2014 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 In fairness to myself, my dentist told me my teeth were fine. There's no stains or owt on them, no pain, no bleeding (except when she stabbed me) etc. I'm not doubting there was a bit of decay and that, but it's not like I never floss! Anyway - cheers for the advice KWB... I like the claim on their website that the thingymajig is apparently 9,350% more effective than dental floss! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 My last dentist trip involved her saying "excellent, keep up with that obviously great flossing and I'll see you in 6 mths time ) I've never flossed in my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
