oh weird...that's where we were back in May...doctors and dentists opened back up on June, but the offices have less people and everyone wears masks.
Also had to rinse with hydrogen peroxide at the dentist before they did the cleaning. Not tasty, but a worthwhile precaution IMO.
Just last week WHO said to put off non-emergency dental procedures "until more is known." Not sure if anyone will react but I can wait for a cleaning.
In a stroke of pre-Covid planning genius, I switched to every 4 month cleanings a couple of years ago vs. 6 months, giving me dat extra tiime.

Yes it's a cool car. But prepare the lube/sawdust.

Yeah I think of my teeth and dental hygiene as adequate but not great, but the dentists always say that I'm doing awesome - so a lot of people must be really nasty.
YES! I get the same feedback and I don't think I do anything special or that my teeth are super clean or anything. It's worrying.
Same here. I try my best and I have zero fillings, but I feel they could be a couple shades whiter due to years of coffee. They always tell me I'm in great shape and not to worry. They won't even talk to be about laser or bleach whitening.

I suspect I'll end up going a full year and I also have a theory that every six months is a scam.
I’ve had to have some extra work after not going for nearly a decade before. I was back on a regular schedule (having a dentist that comes to the office was awesome!) and now COVID.

It totallly depends on your teeth, IMHO. I have crowded bottom teeth that pick up plaque and tartar like crazy no matter how much I floss and brush...which is a lot. On the other hand, if you have Hollywood teeth that everything just slides off of, you may be right.

I try to be good about flossing at least once a day, would really like to get back to twice a day though, and then I hear all the people who don’t floss between dentist visits and it makes me want to

Interesting...I went 3 weeks ago. Dentist office called me to tell me that my previously scheduled appointment was still on and to come in, but asked that if I had any sort of cold like symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, etc) to reschedule the apt. Got there, everyone was in face shields with masks underneath, they took my temp with an external thermometer on my forehead and was walked directly back to the room not interacting with anyone other than my hygienist and doctor. Hydrogen peroxide rinse to start, then a normal cleaning. All PPE was disposed of after me to minimize risk of spreading. Seemed really safe, but I’m not a doctor.

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

You also eat 14 meals a day.
Although to be fair, with how much most ‘Muricans snack all day, they probably eat as frequently as I do.

Felt an earthquake a few minutes ago. 4.5 hit down in Mexico. Our whole building was shaking from it.
I’ve felt a few lesser earthquakes before, it’s an unsettling feeling.
I used to live pretty much on the San Andreas fault line, we felt some wild ones over the years, even when the magnitude wasn’t that high, just because of our proximity.

I'm pretty curious to see how 100+ feels without humidity sometime. I think the hottest I've ever felt is maybe 105 and humid.
It’s still hot, but you don’t feel weighed down and miserable like you do with humidity. Slightly more bearable but still not fun to be in for prolonged periods.

I had a fun fucking weekend... it was 108 here, and normally its fine but you can't do work outside. I did anyways because I am moving.../fixing a ton of shit. You can only do about 30-1hr of work before turning into an absolute mess. I went through 1/2 gallon of water... while cleaning the yard/installing a stereo into a Taco.
Also the garage is at 130-140F if you park a hot car in it.
