Ok, so yesterday I had the first of three planings on my teeth. This one was the surface planing where they clean the plaque off the surface of your teeth. It took about an hour and a half because my teeth, especially the bottom ones were COVERED in plaque. My gums had receded a lot because of all the plaque.

But, today my teeth and gums look healthier than they've ever looked and now I don't want to eat because I don't want to get them dirty! LOL Next month, I'll be having two root planings. Oh joy! I just don't ever want it to get this bad again.

Luckily I had NO cavities. Yahoo!! So, is it weird that I am afraid to eat because I don't want to get my teeth/gums all yucky?
