So like. My very expensive dentist said that I had gum disease and could have the possibility of have my teeth falling out. It sure seemed like a scare tactic, but I have heard constantly from dentists and the like that I don\\’t brush well enough, that I don\\’t floss enough.<\/p>\n
Ok. I give up.<\/p>\n
So on my last visit, my dentist gives me this annoyingly expensive deep cleaning. So I get numbed down and they insert all these metal instruments into my mouth. Personally, it just seems much less painful than a regular cleaning. But anyway, my prognosis is now that I have to brush and floss after every meal \\”until my gums get better\\”.<\/p>\n
Ok. So here I am imagining scenarios where I can\\’t floss and brush after every meal. I could tell the dentist that such a treatment is impossible. That I couldn\\’t adhere to it. But then I realized the dentist would probably give me this look that said DO IT. And he\\’s right of course. If it\\’s important to you, then you will make time for it.<\/p>\n
And I rationalized saying that it has got to be easier than working out. Just 10 minutes of my time during the day rather than the 30-45 minutes per day to work out to stay in shape.<\/p>\n
I constantly think of excuses, reasons that prevent me from doing something. People call that fatalistic. But it\\’s just my way of dealing with frustrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
