CAVITIES!!
Okay, so I KNOW that I've been fortunate over the years to have never had a cavity. They say that cavities are on the rise with younger people these days because people don't really drink tap water any more, and tap water has fluoride in it ... most young people drink bottled water without the added fluoride. Well, I've always had a lot of tap water, and am not too concerned about bottled water. And, I must have good genes in the tooth department, because my teeth have always been really strong.
Well, I had my yearly dentist appointment this morning. We always joke about the fact that they want me to come in every 6 months and I refuse to do so because they never find anything wrong. Hahaha.
Not this time. No joke. My next appointment is scheduled for one week from today ... to drill and fill three cavities in my molars. Eesh! There is decay just under the surface of the teeth. He caught them early. I'm tending toward denial ... I want him to ignore them so that I can ignore them, and then they'll just go away. Right?
UGH!!
