glitch25So as I had mentioned around the beginning of the year, this year, at least for me, seems about the big spring clean. Not just in spring, but definitely the tying up of ends, and re-evaluations of plans and getting realistic about needs/wants and trimming out the stuff that I either really don't want to do or really am not going to make time to do. It has also been about taking the time to finish projects and life changes and push that final hour to get the result I've wanted for things I just haven't finished up.
One area that this had included was my oral health. Having abandoned it for a segment of my life, I had a lot of catching up to do when I started back again over two years ago. It has been a struggle, since habits that should have been there were not, and it also involved specific and ongoing decisions about my diet (I tend to avoid sugar, less for my waistline and more for my teeth). But it is pleasing to see that things have progressed significantly since then. Things are stable and otherwise healthy.
Today was the first time in over two years where my cleaning was only a cleaning and my time spent with the actual dentist was minutes versus much longer. And since my insurance covers cleanings, today was the first time in a long time where I walked out without having to pay anything!
BTW, if you're on the east side, Dr. Peter Hyusing with Issaquah Dental Arts is wonderful, and I'm also partial to his hygienist named Trevi. She rocks!
