Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Yesterday went to a new dentist for my cleaning. Due to covid I am overdue by about a year... anyway not having any issues. The hygienist comes out and takes me in. She starts by doing my gum measuring... then during the cleaning nearly drowns me with the water pik. I volunteered to hold the suction thing and suck the water out of my mouth. She gets done my cleaning and says I have recession on my back gums and one measures 5mm. She said it was periodontal disease but it appears to be non active because the recession is still rounded and there is no disconnect from the tooth. She said if there was a disconnect or if my gums appeared inflamed I would get a deep cleaning. I had no clue what she was talking about...my last visit they said I had recession and to take it easy brushing.

at the end of the the dentist comes in.. looks at my X-rays and examined my mouth and said everything looked good.., see you in July. I got home and googled periodontal disease and said wth!!?? It’s pretty serious... but I’ve never had any issues... never even had the symptoms of gingivitis. Does this sound like gum disease... I looked at pictures on line and even in stage 1 the gums look nasty... I’ve literally had these same spots of regression for as long as I remember.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Should have asked the dentist for a another measurement and his opinion. I wouldn’t take a hygienist's opinion seriously. If it is periodontal, you will need a below gum exam and cleaning by a specialist asap.
If you let that issue slide, you could eventually lose teeth and bone.
Tooth implants and bone grafts are now common, but that work is very pricey vs taking care of what you’ve got.
Not a dental expert, but familiar with that issue…

A Hygienist job is to scale and clean only.
Inflammation and gum bleeding is usually caused by a build up of plaque.
Gums will recede with age or can be advanced with hard brushing.
Any thing more seriously progressive is determined by the Dentist as he/she is the one trained to make that assessment.
