I had to have 4 root canals when I was 15. I take care of my teeth, they're just soft. Stupid genetics. I still need some work done to take care of the fallout from the accident, but I got really sick of medical procedures for a while. I should take care of that.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I've had two teeth break for no apparent reason, but so have both of my parents. Not much I can do about that!
Stupid teeth.

Heh. One of my teeth broke (just a little piece, thankfully--not so bad I needed any hard-core dentistry), and when I complained to the dentist, he was all "Well, that happens as we get older" and I was like "I'M TWENTY SEVEN!" Which in my book, is the perfect age (it's a cube!) and not old at all. (I am no longer 27. But I'm tempted to just claim to be. Forever. Better than 29. Which is what I am for two more months).

Ugh. I had to take my MiL to the doctor on the way to daycare this morning, so I left the house with the kids at 7:30 and have been driving pretty much ever since. I got to daycare at 9ish and back into my car to come home at about 9:30. Got home and ate breakfast at 10. yeeff. How do people handle long commutes in the morning? I'd go postal.

I went from no cavities as a child to...well, bad teeth. Break on a soft bagel bad. Coincided with the hormones finally regulating. Anyway, I'm gonna be paying for that nasty little trick of nature.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I had eight teeth pulled when I was about 7 and had various retainers and things that were supposed to make my teeth come in straight. Not so much. I ended up with several years more of orthodonture when I was in high school. What I remember about having those teeth pulled is that the tooth fairy shorted me. I did not get eight times the usual rate. The tooth fairy apparently believed this was a wholesale deal. Now, parents, aren't you shuddering about what your children will remember about you in 40 years?

I bought Mars Needs Moms today and oof. It made me cry.
There was a great interview with Berke Breathed about this book on NPR. I really want to read it.

I had one of those retainers they cemented to the roof of my mouth, with a key that got turned every night to widen it and provide more room for my upper front arcade, and it only partially worked (they're still crooked and cramped up there).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Does the fact that each of my dentists died excuse the fact that I haven't been to a dentist in years?
Yeah I know I need to go.

Well, my teeth came in perfectly straight. My JAW was crooked (cross-bite) so I had to have braces to get my teeth to align properly. Then my wisdom teeth came in - perfectly healthy and straight - and I had to have them removed because there wasn't room for them. Two of my front bottom teeth are still slightly overlapped from that. sigh.
