Oral what? The incredible no-good very bad dentist!

Did the dental exam thing. The dentist serinance recommended me was very, very good, and actually sort of gave me a picture of how my entire mouth worked, rather than just tell me where cavities were -- like, he measured my jaw movements, and told me how the angle of my back teeth were causing my jaw-clicking and cheek-biting. Really good.

Turns out not only was the crappy dentist from last week crappy, but they were impossibly crappy. The girl who was taking my x-rays was a total moron, and also I presume some form of intern. She wandered back and forth cluelessly, couldn't position the slides correctly, and kept asking me questions. "Did I do upper on this side already?" She muttered "Upper, lower, upper, lower," like she might forget one of them if she didn't keep saying it, and she had to take some x-rays more than once because she lost track.

Then today the good dentist was like, "So this is a picture of the back of your teeth. WHEN did you say you had a cleaning done again?" And there are fucking brown rings on the back of my teeth! So not only could that moron not x-ray me properly, she couldn't even clean my teeth. Get the fuck out.

Definitely made the right choice in picking someone else for my fillings even though it meant extra money for a second exam, holy cow.

So I got my second damn teeth cleaning in a week. In it, the hygienist noticed that, hey, I show early fucking signs of acute necrotizing gingivitis, which is like the most terrifying name ever. I took home a special mouthwash and a fancy toothbrush to help fix that.

Ugh. Never going to a dentistry chain again.
