So I went to the dentist on Friday. I brushed my teeth at home then went straight there, thinking they'd be really impressed by the freshness of my breath. I received no compliments what so ever. The dentist sat next to me first and explained what would happen since his hygienist doesn't speak English. So they put this red stuff in my mouth that would mark where I'm not brushing. They cleaned my teeth afterwards. The dentist came back with a big plastic mouth and an over-sized toothbrush in his hands.
"My hygienist will show you how to brush."
Apparently I've been doing it wrong. You need to sweep from your gums to the tips of your teeth. The countless times I've been to the dentist and I've never heard such an idea (or I could have been day-dreaming) the idea there's another technique seems unfathomable. Even in the commercials they're doing it wrong. Either way certain people were worried I had a cavity but I don't which is nice to hear. The total cost was 10,000 won and half an hour of my time.
Thank you, Korea. You've shown me the path to healthier teeth and presumably gums as well. For a very minimal price too. I guess I can always learn lessons anywhere you go.
...I know I've been slacking on blogs. I'm being productive elsewhere but as far as I know I have a Saturday to myself so I'm going blog crazy. I don't know how many I'll type off but it should be around 7-11 mmmm Slurpees.
