At the dentist this morning.

"Well, Bill, I'm not going to polish your teeth like I have in the past."

"No?"

"No, I have this new tool I started using when I ran out of polishing paste.  It sprays your teeth with a fine powder.  Leaves them feeling much cleaner."

"Some silicate then?"

"Aluminum hydroxide."

"So, you're going to sandblast my teeth."

She smiles somewhat testily, looking around to see if anyone overheard.  "We don't call it that."

Oh golly, that sounds like fun!

Actually, it wasn't so bad. A lot grittier (duh) but it rinsed cleaner and was done in a fraction of the time.

Haha! I'll be sure to ask for the sandblasting treatment when I go to my dentist tomorrow!

How expensive is your dentist? I just discovered my first cavity and I'm a bit at a loss....

And no. I don't have insurance.

The cleaning was ~$150. Ross (Morrison) does offer financing through Wells Fargo, though, and he is a terrific dentist: friendly, personable, very gentle.
