Went through with my 6-month cleaning this morning.
Dental assistant did x-rays. Then Tiffany P. Young, my dentist, started cleaning, probing, scraping. I could see her penetrating eyes above the mask searching earnestly for some blemish. What relief when the polishing began and there were no comments other than, "Keep on flossing, and get in there to your back wisdom teeth."

I
remember the first cleaning years ago at my first appointment with her.
Coming from other sources who perhaps were more after the cleaning out
of my wallet rather than the care of my teeth, the experience was brutal
and bloody. She scrapped and probed and it hurt and bled. She
complained quite a bit about how I wasn't flossing or brushing properly.
Since
that first visit visits, all subsequent visits, like today, have been a
piece of cake. No pain, no blood. Yes, I probably do floss more
diligently, but maybe those other so called "dentists" were
concentrating on their "other" job.
