This is what I wore when I went to visit my boyfriend at work.
It wasn't the romantic... "oh, it paaaaaains me to spend an entire day without you I just HAD to drive 40 minutes to see your face... no, I love YOU more"... kind of visit. It was for a legit reason. My Manfriend is a dentist and I was GOING THROUGH IT! An area of my gum was bleeding for a couple of weeks every time I brushed/flossed and it was getting worse and worse. The front of my mouth had what looked like a little cut on it, but behind that was the real problem. I could not figure out what it was, so I just ignored it for a while, brushed regularly and rinsed with Listerine like 3 times a day (because you know... why would you get a second opinion from the dental professional you co-habitate with? DUH?).
Finally it started bleeding at work after I finished my lunch. It was bleeding LIKE CRAZY. I was talking with my mouth uncomfortably closed and my boss (who I am now on a whole new level of familiarity with ) said.... "let me see". So.. I tipped my head back while we shoved a mirror INTO my mouth. He then proceeded to take a picture of the reflection for me on my cell and I sent it to "The Doc". Yes... that happened. Head back. Blood. Mirror in Mouth. Boss. Picture of my grill. It was as uncomfortable as you are imagining. Especially when he said... "stop breathing... you're fogging up the mirror". (Annnnd... we've reached a new low.) Just your average day at the office, wouldn't ya say?
So, I went to see the Manfriend at work... a popcorn kernel. YUP. A friggin' popcorn kernel. It got stuck in my teeth... I flossed... and somehow it got jammed INTO my gum and was causing me a whole HEAP of problems. The grossest part... the last time I ate popcorn was 2 weeks ago. GROOOOOOOOSS. So... consider this your public service announcement. #1. Never trust a popcorn kernel. #2. Flossing is for suckers.
Side Note: I put this lipstick on AFTER my teeth cleaning. Can you imagine going to the dentist with this stuff on? Hands all in your mouth... spit everywhere...water... the suction tube thing? You'd walk out looking like a cross between Heath Ledger as The Joker and a Crack Ho. Not good. NOT good.

ReplyDeleteHahahaha.... TWILA!!!!!!!! You KNOW This, Mama!
Deleteewww..that is gross.
ReplyDeleteI have a massive fear of dentists so I understand why you kept putting it off…even if you do live with one. Are they as sadistic in real life as they are when you are laying in their chair?

ReplyDeleteAni - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... he came over to my desk and it just happened. It was SO awkward and HILARIOUS. I mean... we are a WHOLE new level of close now.
DeleteI feel like you should visit Charlotte, NC on your next trip to The States!
Eric actually had a house that he rents to people in Greensboro and his parents live in Duncan South Carolina not to far away from Charlotte. Charlotte is usually the airport I land on when I visit the states besides Atl (where his bro lives)
ReplyDeleteSo next time I am in the states and you have a popcorn kernel jamming into your gum, I will be willing to assist you finding it. It will bring our blogger friendship to a whole new level :-D hahahahaha
