The Cavitron. Do you know what that is? It's not the latest concept car from GM. It's not a new, hip Goth Nightclub. Nor is it a reality show about spelunking. It's a dental tool that uses high frequency ultrasonic waves to clean teeth. That's right. ULTRASONIC WAVES! For an hour at a time, every three months, for the last 2 years, I have had to undergo cleanings with the Cavitron. Does it hurt? Is the Pope Catholic? YEAH it hurts. Remember the scene from the Superman movie, where Lex Luthor is sending out a message to Superman over a high pitch frequency, that only Superman and the canines in Metropolis can hear? Remember that awful noise, and the way Clark Kent was grimacing and grabbing his ears? That's pretty much the way it feels. But, when you're told that your gums are going to erode away like the sands on the beach, and your teeth are going to become a memory, you do whatever is necessary to prevent that from happening. So, for the past few years I have endured the Cavitron. But yesterday, that all came to an end. Marie, my hygenist, poked around in my mouth for a while, not once going near her Cavitron. It's taken over 2 years, but I have FINALY fixed my gums!! So listen to the dentist kids. Brush every day, floss, and use the Sonicare and Gel-Kam that your dentist pimped out on you. It will pay off in the end! Ah, time to go have a sugary snack now I think....
