To The Dentist Then

[Moozik: Pixies - Oh My Golly!]

I wouldn't really consider myself a strict follower of dental hygiene. Don't get me wrong, I brush twice a day, use Listerine etc so that part of my dental health regimen is ok. The part where I actually go to the Dentist for regular checkups? Not so much. In fact the last time I remember stepping inside the hallowed grounds of dental wizardry was probably late 1994 back in England.

This will change tomorrow as I've actually made an appointment. The toothache I've had for the past couple of days does not want to magically get better by itself. I'm a little worried about going to be honest. For America is the land of blindingly white super perfect teeth. They're obsessed by them in fact. While my teeth aren't bad by any means, they're just not American. And this being my first visit to an American Dentist, who knows what kinds of things they'll find.

I can already hear the drill.
