Anyway, yesterday as we drove to the dentist's office Eric suggested that they may just hand us dentures as we walk in the door. Now we both take good care of our teeth, it just seemed impossible that we could really get away without major damage.
I went first as Eric was tending to a sleeping Cordelia. Man alive the world of dentistry has progressed greatly in a decade. The dentist chair was a massage chair! Yes please!!! I could have fallen asleep right there had Jamie not been poking at my mouth with her little metal tools. She said, "I never would have guessed it's been so long, your teeth look great!" Wahoo, I thought. She did warn that the dentist may see things differently, but he agreed and complimented me on my teeth, suggesting that they were too straight and I must've had braces, nope...just lucky. He didn't even want to pull my wisdom teeth. Not a cavity!!! Can you believe that!?!?!

Now, you may be wondering why I posted about this and I am beginning to wonder the same thing, but I've already gotten this far.So maybe you can tell me a dental miracle of your own, a horror story about dentistry, or anything else.

Yay! for no cavities!
No cavities in the 6 years I didn't go to the dentist! (Same story as yours, being a poor student for too long)
And you have a beautiful smile to match those pearly whites!
I'm so impressed - you must floss? How did Eric fair?
He got away with it too, not quite as free and clear as myself, but very little damage done! Thank goodness.
I am a bit slack about the dentist too, I think the last time I went was about 5 years ago and my teeth were great thank goodness! I suppose I should think about going back!
I didn't have a cavity until I was about 27. I had braces, but my teeth still moved and I have a space between my front teeth that I'm currently fixing with a retainer. Fun! ;-)
I'm overdue for the dentist... by about 6 months. I really must call.
