I just got back from the dentist. So from 12:30pm to 12:45pm, I was driving fast on the road. But since I haven’t seen the dentist in over two years, I had fifteen minutes to fill out the paperwork again before the 1:00pm appointment.
For one hour (almost exactly), the dental hygienic took a full digital imaging (not the conventional X-rays but less that 90% of radiation) of my teeth. To reduce potential radiation exposure, I wore Shrimpsei’s brass-less, nano-pendant inside my left bra cup, which is over the heart area.
Then the cute, Vietnamese guy (who I thought was Filipino because of his dark skin) inspected the gums ranging from 1 for perfect to 5 for badly inflamed. I had mostly 2’s and 3’s with a few 4’s and one 5.
Next, he used the water-powered jet spray to deep-clean my gums and followed up with regular scraping of the plaque build-up with those sharp dental tools.
After addressing the removal of mercury fillings with the dentist, I decided to keep my silver amalgam. Why?

Basically, there is no pain. Plus, I didn’t like the idea of my teeth being drilled out LARGER for new composite fillings. Since fillings won’t be fully covered by the temporary agency’s insurance until after six months of employment, I’ll wait until there is pain.
Then I hurried back to work and badged into the building around 14:30pm. As long as our boss knows where we are (via email, which is preferable), it’s better to be honest and professional.
