Tue 10 July 2007 - Back to the dentist
When I last went to the dentist, they said I had a touch of gingivitis, and suggested mouthwashing for a couple of weeks.
It’s obviously pretty powerful stuff, because apart from any cleaning it’s doing, it makes my teeth look horrible, in a way that mere toothpaste can’t fix. My teeth now resemble those of Peter Street (the Architect of the original Globe Theatre) in Saturday’s Doctor Who. It’s not a pretty sight.
So I stopped on the mouthwash for a bit.
I resumed a few weeks ago, and I’m heading off to the dentist again today, so hopefully that’ll be enough, and they can then thoroughly clean my teeth again so they don’t look like I’m from the 16th century anymore, and I’ll be able to grin at people again without getting funny looks.
Update 11pm. The dentist had to get out the big guns to get the mouthwash stain off. It was like sandblasting my teeth. He’s now put me onto an alternative brand which apparently won’t cause discolouration.
