I know I am perverse, but I actually like going to the dentist. I like lying back, letting my mind drift, Classic FM in the background, the soft murmur of the dentist to his nurse… and then afterwards there’s that nice clean mouth feel… I wish they still had the strange tasting pink mouth-wash but now it’s just water… but even so I like going to the dentist.
I went to the dentist last week… and he is such a nice chap, dark hair, round smiley face… but oh dear, last week he was gently cross with me; he frowned at me with his brown eyes looking very serious across his face mask… my crime? Not flossing! I bleated weakly that I did floss… he frowned, OK, I admitted I didn’t do it every day… he frowned again…. oh I feel so guilty!
This is not exactly a New Year’s resolution as we are now two weeks into 2014, but I do resolve, even if its only to see my dentist smile, to floss every day!

Are you a masochist? I swear that every dentist I ever went to liked inflicting pain and got a lot of pleasure out of doing it.

Oh dear… I’ve always had nice dentists, in fact the one I have now and the previous one were also very good looking… My husband’s previous dentist was called Iona Pelikan!

As I often tell my kids before a dentist appointment, “who doesn’t like to lay in a chair while someone brushes their teeth for them?”

When I told my dentist that I had retired, his come back was “Now you will have more time to floss”!!
