Tooth Abrasive

It used to be that your dentist asked you which flavor of tooth polish you wanted when you went in for a cleaning. Flavor is somewhat misleading because it was really about which color of abrasive you wanted. They all tasted kind of like mint, kind of like blood. Or maybe that was just me becaues I had once again failed to floss to expectation.

Now my trips to the dentist are uneventful. No choice in flavor, but that’s fine. I hate making decisions at 8am in the morning.

  1. When I had some teeth pulled they offered me flavored nitrous gas. I chose strawberry but they messed up and gave me chocolate. It was a fould combination of chocolate, sour gas and plastic. After the operation I proceeded to vomit heavily, thanks largely to the gas product.

  2. Remember the gas in your science classroom? That’s flavored with garlic. Well, it’s scented with garlic anyway.

  3. I’ve heard of scented gas like natural gas so that you can smell a leek, but flavored gas, thats just cool!
