Dentist check-up

Yesterday I went for a cleaning and check up at the dentist. See, I told you I'd go back and get on top of things.  I seemed to have clicked with this office, which to me is more important that what tier they are under our insurance.  I'm willing to pay a little more if I feel comfortable there.  I got all the tarter scraped off my teeth, which was pretty hard since it had been a while.  She also polished and flossed my teeth as well as took x-rays.  The dentist and hygienist both were happy with how my teeth, gums, and bone structure looked for someone who hadn't been to the dentist in a while who also has diabetes.  I even got a bag full of goodies!

I get to go back in a little over a week for the first couple fillings.  Although I'm obviously not excited about it, I am looking forward to getting this work done and being pain-free.  I'm proud of myself for setting up my next cleaning in March already.  I'm also getting better at brushing and flossing how I should vs. when I remember.  (Remember that I already admitted to not being the model diabetic.)  Hopefully in the next few months I'll be totally done (should take about three appointments) and move on to other things.
