The dentist's ultrasonic cleaning thing is way worse than the drill IMO - it leaves me with a headache for hours.

Oh, I probably meant that thing. I've had both in the last two days. I guess the drill is a worse sound for me because I know things won't feel shiny for a while afterwards.

That's no fun. I'm due a checkup and clean three days after my birthday. Not looking forward to it.

Mate. I am glad you're booked in.

LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

I used to be a regular six-monthly gal. Then I had a five-year stint of No Dentist after a nightmare appointment with an unknown dentist who butchered my mouth. I then sailed along oblivious with perfectly healthy-looking teeth, right up until early last year when I got a horror infection behind my bottom front teeth out of nowhere within the space of a few weeks.

I am now paying the price with some serious gum disease and general badness in my mouth. That shit can come up and bitchslap you within no time at all, before you even know what's happening. It festers away while you have no clue. I've now got permanently-damaged bone in my jaw from that one infection that sprang up unannounced. Those teeth will be slightly loose forever, if I'm lucky and they don't drop out.

I'm so back to being a dentist born-again follower now, it's not even funny.

Also, FLOSS like your life depends upon it. It might very well be true. That crap below your gums is what causes heart ( ... )

Two cats sitting on the bed at 5:30AM, singing the "We're starving, we haven't been fed in days, feed us!" song. While jumping on your head.

We are lucky. Ours just purr and mirr and smooch us. One cat even "whispers" her meows if it's too early in the morning and the alarm hasn't gone off yet.

Nah. That one mosquito in the room when you are trying to sleep is the most annoying sound.

But I am really blasé about dentists. My mum is a dentist, and you can't be scared of your mum, right?

For me at the moment the most annoying sound in the entire world is the slightly out of tune singing that this guy who sits near me at work likes to output throughout the day.

The dentist's drill is up there though. Right after that scraping fingernails (on blackboards or anything else that does it) noise. Just thinking about that one is making me grit my teeth.
