Dental Care

Just an observation from the dental cleaning I had today-
The hygienist did a periodontal check.   This involves poking the gumline with a probe to determine the pocket depth.  They probe each tooth in six places.  I have 23 teeth so that's 138 holes she poked into my gums.

And I was not given any antibacterial rinse afterwards.

As oral bacteria have been shown to cause disease if they get in the bloodstream, one would think this would be standard procedure.  Before and after.

I brought my own, but nonetheless am having a wicked immune response.   Shivering like I have a fever.
