    @Testament For years, my dentist was one of my dad’s college buddies. They were in a fraternity together. By the time I started seeing him as a teenager, I’d heard stories about the hijinks they’d pulled. And he was pretty honest about how no one liked going to the dentist.

    And then I moved so that I was no longer local to where I grew up, and I could not find a dentist who was not a judgmental jerk with a superiority complex. I got to the point where I’d literally schedule dental appointments when I was going to be on vacation near my parents’ so that I could continue to see my dad’s bud.

    Dude’s retired now, so I (infrequently) see his daughter, who I grew up with.

        I was told that we don’t start with mouth bacteria, but we get it by sharing foods with people who do. In other words, we almost always get it from our parents.

        I don’t know how true that is.

        Yes. I heard this from my previous dentist, too who told me that folks who are prone to cavities have one type of mouth bacteria and those who have gum disease have another. Typically you don’t have both. I mean I guess you could but he said they are competing bacterias and we get it from our parents as little kids. Often times babies get kissed on the mouth (not sure why folks feel the need to do this) or like when little kids learn how to give hugs and kisses they will try to go in for mouth kisses. But I definitely heard the same and now I’m like well, just give me all the fluoride please.

          But does anyone else get the feeling that dentists are kind of…judgmental? As in, no matter how hard you try to take care of your teeth, you still get slightly browbeaten about it?

          “Have you come in for a check up in the last six months?”

          … In this economy?

          I do rue the day I actually get dental coverage, and pity the workload of whoever I end up going to see about things. Because, uh… I gots problemz.

            @Jennkryst I mean, for a long time I was right there with you. No insurance of any kind. Thankfully, I didn’t start having problems with my teeth until after I already had it. Which is annoying because, again, I may of just gotten bad luck in regards to genetics.

            And to note, my health insurance is absolute crap, but for whatever reason, the dental is absolutely amazing. Don’t know how it worked out like that.

                    Bionic stomachs, yes. Bionic bowels, no. Sorry, nobody wants to do the bionic gong farmer certificate.

                        @Solstice Honestly I just wanted to say gong farmer. Because that’s a term I know and want to use as often as possible. It, surprisingly, doesn’t come up very often.

                              I am very mad today. Mad enough that it’s hard to quantify this level of rage into coherent words.

                              That is all.

                                  Not going to go into some huge diatribe, because that wouldn’t soothe my rage in the slightest.

                                  I’ll just look to my tv dad.

                                    I am also so angry I hardly am fighting to care.

                                        It will not stop here, mark my words if this is left unchecked. Because the precedent has now been set.
