DENTAL CONSULT... Stage 1

OK.. So I would be lying if I said I was not a bit scared walking to the dentist last night...
Coming off the back of a 24 flight mission and spending majority of the day ensuring all our clients were relaxed and happy after their consults and settled into their rooms (which they were) .. So with OPG X-ray under my arm I toddled off for my own consult to our Dental Clinic in Patong, Phuket... 
I have disliked my teeth for a very long time. I remember asking my denist in Melbourne when I was about 16 for braces... But, was told that I was just going through the ugly duckling stage...mmmmm... never did grow out of the ugly duckling stage...
My aim was to ask about maybe a couple of fillings (which I was certain I needed) and the possiblity of having some veneers placed on my own ratty teeth... Something I have been wanting to do for a VERY long time. STRAIGHT TEETH!!!

My specialist was fantastic and greeted me with open arms... She was very thorough in her examination and was very happy to let me know that no fillings were required (pretty good for a 38 year old to have NO fillings) .They could definately place some veneers on... 6 or 8... AND that this could all be done in the next 8 days!!
OMG... book it in!! 
So consult done...
Stage 2: Deep Clean... (yuk)... has to be done. They will need to give me a couple of jabs to numb the gums and then will give me a very thorough clean.. This process takes about an hour to an hour and a half.
I was asked nicely if I flossed... embarrassing - ummmm... no?
So, I have started today... Everyone must floss. The food cannot get out from within our gaps... I now know anyway... and this is the reason I once again need a deep clean.. :(
Stage 2 will be executed tomorrow night... Stayed tuned.... I have had this done before... after the needles the rest is a breeze..
PS: Sorry about the photo... The lovely assistance assisted... a tab blurry - will work on their photography skills as we move forward (my hair is seriously not that boofy). x
