Guilt for the Medicaid Orthodontist

ny orthodontistI didn’t brush my teeth or floss last night. For shame! For shame, I told myself, and I’ve brushed my teeth already twice before five o’clock but still I’m scared. What if the tartar got loose last night and started a party? A bacteria party in my mouth! What if I have a cavity next time I go to the dentist or NY orthodontist?

I forgot my toothpaste and toothbrush and at my friend’s where I spent the night I at least used his mouthwash, which said it protected my mouth in six ways. But when I awoke this morning and found a piece of last night’s dinner underneath my Medicaid braces, I knew I was in trouble. I scraped off a thin white membrane from my tooth, near the gum line.

And now here I am, already feeling guilty about my next visit to the NY orthodontist. Why do Americans have such good teeth? Do we simply practice better dental hygiene than British people? Or is it because we’ve all been bred purely and thoroughly intermixed? Or is it just that we have the resources to offer Medicaid braces to even those with crooked teeth? In any event, I really hope I don’t have any cavities.
