My not so type Hygienist

I had my dental appointment today at 8:30am. I requested a time off from work and my boss was pretty much flexible. I arrived at the clinic 10mins before the schedule. I greeted Robin the front desk hello and she seemed uptight since she was talking on the phone with a persistent patient. A few minutes later, Gretha came and said hello. She told me to go to the xray room. I need to have my teeth examine again. Every year, they need to check on the condition of my gums and roots. Everything is fine and so she proceed to have my teeth cleaned. Oh man, I almost wanted to cry. She tortured me with her heavy hands and not so sensitive with me. I was bleeding hard and I can taste my blood. I even saw some spots of blood from the bib. When she was done, I gargled with listerine and I can see blood when I spitted. It was a terrible day with her. The last hygienist was more better than her. I didn't bleed that much.

Doctor Alvaro did check and re-examine. She said my gums are healthy and the rest of the teeth are fine except the small crack on my upper left first molar. It was from the filling and perhaps I cracked it when I ate hard stuff. So I was advised to make another appointment. I hate going up there because it is too far and I need to stay up early. Anyway, I did schedule my appointment next month and my next dental cleaning will be this August.

When I arrived, I got a message from Robin. She left a message that she was wrong on my date. I should suppose to go visit the clinic the following 6 months. I didn't care less when she made my schedule because that time I was in pain. So until September then and I need to call her tomorrow and set up the date.
