Whew. The Periodontal cleaning was yesterday and although there was pain, I did OK and will go back. I think my hygienist made a big difference. I explained that because of my lung condition, when I'm laid back I might cough. Of course, I did so she raised me back up and said to take my time. I had been required to pay for a session of instructions on how to properly care for my teeth and gums. This included an electric toothbrush. I almost rebelled on that but am sorry I kept quiet. I've used one for 30+ years and had one on hand. I used the new one this morning and I think it will be great. It has three speeds and I started with the lowest. It had the gentleness that I need. Didn't mean to go on and on. Just hate I wasted so much time dreading the appointment. The bible says, "be anxious for nothing."
