I have made effort to keep my mouth clean. And let me tell you -- it's been a bitch. The two top molars at the back aren't at 100% cleanliness yet, but it's impossible still.

This time, before he starts I am going to ask him to please let me know beforehand if he plans to do something that will hurt. I have severe anxiety about pain, and it makes the perception of it worse. I don't appreciate him springing it on me last time and then making a snarky comment. I am prepared to give him some attitude if needed tomorrow.
Your doctor should absolutely tell you when something is going to be potentially painful.

Good luck tomorrow, Potamus!!!!
