When we demobilized, they told us that we could get a free dental cleaning at the VA. Me being a cheap bastard, of course I jumped on that shit right away.
I showed up this morning, and my appointment was at 8:30 A.M. For two and a half hours straight, some 26 year old college chick from West L.A. College was poking and scraping at my gums the whole time.
She was cool, but it definitely felt like she was a student. Her teacher would come, poke around my mouth, tell her what she missed, and leave the room. While she was working on me, her classmates would randomly come by and ask for polishers, scrapers, attachments, etc.
I wasn’t sure what kind of damage was being done in my mouth, but when it was all over I saw that the gum around my teeth was now loose, flappy, and bloody.
When eleven o’ clock came around, I told her that I had to leave. I had to skip on the fluoride treatment because there was no time. She didn’t even offer me any mouthwash.
I have nothing personal against that girl. All I’m saying is that the VA is BRUTAL.
