I went to the dentist last week for a cleaning/X-rays and exam, and had a flouride treatment added in, and had ZERO cavities which is amazing for me. Anyway I’m doing a lot better with brushing and am now flossing properly since I was shown how to do it the right way, so I take my time with that now. And I leave my flouride mouthwash in while I swish it around for 1 whole minute before spitting it out and don’t eat or drink anything for 30 minutes afterwards. Anyway, it was really nice getting positive feedback at the dentist for once lol but yeah I like my new dentist and the hygienist I had. I also went to the dentist today but that was just to re-cement a crown that had popped off. It kept popping off and I had to get it redone multiple times but this time my new dentist made some adjustments to the crown so it fits a lot better now and I don’t think it’ll come off again. At least not for a long time. It never fit properly before that’s why it was always coming off and I’d keep having to go in to get it redone multiple times-cemented but none of my previous dentists addressed the actual problem of the crown not fitting properly and just kept shoving it back on without making any adjustments so it’d actually fit right over the tooth. So I like my new dentist he’s been really great.

I’m super motivated to keep doing well with my dental hygiene now.
