Blown away at the dentist
At the dentist yesterday, my first visit in over five years, I found out a lot more than I expected. I don’t have any cavities, which was a relief, but there were a number of other things I found out about my mouth. The dentist wants me to have my top two wisdom teeth removed; he wants to smooth out my front teeth (mostly for aesthetic reasons: I have a minor chip from an unfortunate encounter with a yarn needle a couple years ago); he thinks I might subconciously clench my teeth, causing my frequent headaches; and lastly, he said I open my mouth too much.
Essentially.
What he said is that the ligaments around my mouth are strained, and he continued with a litany of things I should be careful of. He went on and on about how I shouldn’t chew much gum, I should take smaller bites when I eat, I should watch how far I open my mouth when I yawn.
And I all I could think the whole time was, Oh my god he totally thinks I’m a slut who gives blow jobs all day long!

Way to go Brad!
(I’m sure everyone who reads my comments thinks I’m a total asshole.)

That dentist just wants to get you back in his chair.

OMG, that’s SO funny, because I’ve been told by many a dentist that I have the smallest mouth they’ve ever seen. And the whole time they’re struggling to get to my back teeth, I wonder if they feel sorry for Roth. Heh.

LOL - I’ve never heard such a thing in my entire life. That’s crazy. Opening your mouth too much….that’s what it’s for right?
I, also, have the whole supposed “small mouth” thing going on. They even give me kiddie toothbrushes.
See, isn’t insurance fun….
