Bryce vs. The Dentist

If someone had asked me years ago when I started this blog if dentists would be a big thing I wrote about, I never would have believed him. And yet here I am, composing what’s at least my eighth post about the profession. I don’t have time to read the others over, but I *did* have to go to mine again this morning, and when you write a blog, and you’re there sitting still for an hour or so, you have time to think. “What am I going to blog about today?” It’s been a while since I did a […]

Wisdom Tooth: The Reckoning

I never got my wisdom teeth taken out. I have a really big mouth. (No snide remarks, please.) At the time, I was really happy that I didn’t have to have them out, since this meant an avoidance of . . . you know . . . having them out. Which I imagine isn’t the best feeling in the world. And since I’m all for avoiding pain when possible, that was a plus. Of course. which great power mouths comes great responsibility. My dentists always warned me I’d have to watch out for those wisdom teeth–taking great care to brush

Snow Day! (And the Revenge of the Dentist)

Yes, it’s April 1. And yes, it’s a raging blizzard outside. And you know what? I love it. Especially the gift of a snow day this late in the year. Sure, TRC will have to make up the day later on in the year, but such is life. At least I won’t have to make it up. 🙂 And on more somber news, Denisa’s appointment with destiny the dentist came and went. Verdict? $3600 of tooth repair that needs to be done this year. Insurance could cover $1000 of that, but you don’t need to be a math major to

Dentists and Children

It appears my wife’s super strong teeth have been passed down to the next generation. TRC went to the dentist two days ago. The verdict? Eight cavities. Count ’em: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. They’re supposedly small, but eight? EIGHT? And guess who the genius was who thought he could wait another year before putting the tikes on the dental insurance. Guilty as charged. So, my fine readers, here’s my question to you: do you think waiting a year on these is a terrible idea? My current plan is to wait until I can enroll him in

Allow Me to Vent

Nothing serious for today’s vent. Just a minor annoyance. What is it? I hate those sharp pointy things that they use at the dentist’s to scrape your teeth. I hate everything about them. I hate the sound they make, the feeling they give you as they grate against your bicuspids, the sharp jab they give your gums now and then. Surely, after all these advances in science and medicine, there must be something better to use to clean teeth with. Isn’t this why we invented lasers? Come on, dentists! Use some lasers, for crying out loud. I mean, sure–you might
