Sometimes it's good to contrast what you like with something else. It makes you appreciate it even more.

Ow ow ow. The numbing is finally wearing off and it sucks. I went to the dentist today. My tooth has been bothering me and since we don't have dental insurance I've been putting off seeing a dentist, for about, oh 4 years. yikes I know. I have NEVER had a cavity. Wild I know. Especially with all the junk I eat and I am just horrible at doing the whole flossing routine. Unfortunately today my perfect record was shattered with a tooth that was thisclose to needing a root canal and one other that we just didn't have time to get to today with my allotted dental appt but can wait until the end of the month. Having cavities sucks. Having to pay for your dental appointment completely out of pocket is like taking an extra hit to the face minus the fantastic Novocaine. Overall I've completely rethought my laziness towards flossing and plan on doing it religiously. I'm really really appreciating my healthy teeth right now...especially as I painfully try to eat some lunch... and would prefer to spend the pittance towards floss than the IRS type shafting for fixing what could be prevent. ow.
