Today I did something I haven't done in over 8 years...I went to see the dentist. A few days ago, while eating some roast (another first for me; I cooked the roast that is), I chipped one of my back molars. Today, during my morning prep period, I went in and braced myself for hte worst. Lo and behold, I did not get a lecture! The dentist commented as to how surprised he was with the status of my teeth. He said they were in excellent condition and could understand why I hadn't been to the dentist for so long. He cleaned the teeth, froze part of my mouth, then gave me my first filling in almost 33 years (another impressive feat, in his opinion). So now my mouth is numb, and I can only chew on the right side of my mouth for a couple days. The doc told me I really only needed to see the dentist once every couple of years, and to just keep up with what I've been doing. My secret? Brush every morning. I know, I'm lucky I guess.
