Teeth Wash

Got a teeth cleaned today, more than a year after my last visit to the dentist. Can't be helped. Medical service of any kind in Beijing was expensive, and the closest I heard about a "decent" dentist in China was some Russian named Vladimir who spoke English and accepted cake as payment.

The process changed a bit over the past year. Now after the "brush and buff" the dentist (Aimee Yang) placed mouthgards filled with some kind of sealent (or finishing polish) over my teeth. Smelled and tasted like rotten fruit. Whatever gets the job done, I guess.

I went with my mom, who had her caps replaced. Never knew how much fake teeth she had. Love her priorities, though. Some women get fake boobs, she gets fake teeth.
