Recently I saw the dentist. Well, I just went for a cleaning. The last cleaning I had was when I was 6 months pregnant so about 3 and a half years ago.
My teeth were in pretty bad shape because it took an hour to scrape off the flakes of tartar that had crusted up and made those white stains that look like bathtub ring. You know those white-yellow things at the base of your gumline. That's crusty tartar. You can't scrape it off with your nail, no sir. You need a jack-hammer to remove that gunk.
So there I am twiddling my thumbs enjoying the show on the ceiling. The dentist is surprised at how cruddy my teeth are. She scrapes away with razors and pins and pointy objects at my teeth,

"Do you drink coffee??" she asks.
"No" I said.
"Do you smoke?"
"Naw."
"Your teeth are stained quite a bit."
"I like blueberries and cherries"
"oh ha ha ha" she laughed dryly, but I could tell she was annoyed and wanted to stab me in the temples with her mysterious pointy untensils.
"O.K. Gravity, I am going to measure your gums."
The lady then proceeds to stab my gums with a large pin about 200 times. This poking and stabbing causes the obvious, bleeding.
I could picture her in a dominatrix suit yelling at me asking me to call her mistress, and saying I was a dirty girl who didn't brush her teeth. That bitch.
"Well it looks like your teeth are fine, except for your wisdom teeth they have some excess gum and you can't get them clean so I will give you a special brush for them."
"Wonderful, my benefits plan is finally paying off!!!"
I then realized my gums were still bleeding and I swallowed a large mouthful of blood. I got nauseated.
"Gravity, we are going to polish your teeth."
I sat there and watched the gleam in her eye, afraid of what the hell was going to happen next. I couldn't read her expression because of the damn face mask. She took great care of her eyebrows though. Most likely shaped, waxed, and tweezed, by a professional. Probably her dominatrix lover.
She shoved the spit sucker in my mouth and removed a gallon of blood. Oh my god, I am gonna die getting a tooth cleaning, and they will blame it on me because I am so un-hygienic. The news reports would be unforgiving and they will mock me in a tone of "I-told-you-so"
My headstone will say "In Memory Of Gravity, Remember the Dangers of Neglecting Your Teeth."
They would start a fund to create awareness and educate people on gum care and gingivitis.

"Gravity, do you floss?" I nodded my head in fear like a little 5 year old who stole a cookie from the cookie jar.
"Well that's no fun, I can't give you any lectures on taking care of your teeth." she laughed again, I got goosepimples, and my pupils dilated into pinheads. Her laugh caused my blood to curdle and harden in my mouth. I chewed on it.
"Gravity I am going to floss your teeth now." She flossed my teeth, like an angel. It was unexpected. It was great. If I were rich I would pay some poor shmuck to come over to my house twice a day and floss my teeth. And wipe my bum too. She used this floss like it was rope she used to tie up her lovers, she was indeed a professional. It reminded me of Jessica Alba swinging the rope around in the movie SinCity. If I were a guy, I would have tent in my pants the size of the CN Tower. Yeah it was fun. I think I will hire her to be an entertainer at my next birthday party, I thought to myself.

"Gravity this is a Sulcabrush, its a brush that will help you get into the back of your mouth to clean your wisdom teeth."

She showed me how to use it, and she gave me a new toothbrush and some dental floss. So this is how good it feels to pay 20 dollars per paycheque towards a benefits plan. I was warm and fuzzy, I peed my pants a bit too.
As I left she said she would see me again in 6 months.
Yesterday I called and made another appointment for next week.
