Doped Up and Drilled
That’s what I’ll be in an hour! I have a cavity that needs to be filled. It’s been there for awhile but my dentist didn’t want to dope me up while I was nursing. I was supposed to get it filled in December but that was the day Lucy came down with pneumonia. So, I go today. I have awful teeth and gums-genetics suck. My DAILY routine is to brush twice (manual in the morning, Sonicare at night-2 minutes, at least, each time) and then at night I floss, gum stimulate, and rinse with mega rinse.
Ever wonder what this is?
(source) That’s a gum stimulator. You run the red tip along your gum lines. Anyway, I do ALL of that and I still have 3’s and 4’s and get cavities 🙁 Oh and I get my teeth cleaned every 4 months. Genetics. At least I lurve my dentist!
This morning I was woken up by Lucy playing in her crib. She decided that 4:30 was a fantastic time to play! She eventually fell back asleep and my alarm got me up for good at 5:30. Our rule is that unless she’s screaming bloody murder (like we KNOW something is wrong) we don’t go in there until 6 am-we started this at about 9 months and it works really well. Sometimes it’s hard, but we know it works. She usually goes 12-13 (14 yesterday!) hours of straight sleep so we’re not messing with it!
Before spin I ate half of a Coconut Cream Pie Larabar:
I ate the other half after class. Wow, could I ever feel yesterday’s run on my legs in today’s class. I had a hard time getting going. I didn’t push as hard as I normally do, but my legs needed me to be gentle-I listened.
I also made myself some juice this morning. Here’s what it looked like before:
And after-green juice with orange foam:
Time to go brush my teeth!

I use the gum stimulator too! And I have a syringe I have to stick up my gums and flush with water and a rx mouthwash! I have 6 and 7’s. I get the root scaling every 4 months! Genetics REALLY DO SUCK!!!
i don’t have anything cool like that…just regular ol’ floss and brush for me! this reminds me, though, i need to make a dentist appt soon!
Oh no, sorry about the bad teeth. It really bites when you do everything right and you still have bad things (cavities) happen to you. It just goes against nature.
I could have written the top half of this post re. teeth 🙁
I also have been unlucky in the teeth department. Some wise words to all you kids out there~ Choose your parents wisely! 🙂 Genetics rule and weak teeth drool.
Love how you are rocking that juicer, totally getting your moneys worth.
