Time for the teeth cleaning. Patti the Dental Hygienist stepped aside to let Dr. Woo inspect her work in my open mouth. Dr. Woo gasped and exclaimed "No gum recession!"
Like, it should be different? Maybe it is for many people!
When my mother first took me to the dentist in the early Sixties, she took pains to make my visit as pleasant as possible. Her own dental experiences were miserable. Armed with dental diligence for her own kids, she wanted to kill that karma once and for all.
No gum recession. It's a small victory, but many decades in the making, and I'll take it.
