Because I HATE the dentist and I haven't gone in 5 years. We've had awesome dental coverage that whole time, but I just hate the dentist, so I didn't go. Then came the two worst toothaches EVER and I had to get them taken care of.

But a lot of people have your same experience. I am pretty sure it comes from a devestating childhood experience. Good teeth are genetic. It's really just good luck. I have a sister who was way more hygenic than I was as a kid and she had a ton of cavities. I have still never had one cavity.

Probably because the first time I went I was 5 and scared to death and the dentist and his assistant were holding me down and yelling at me to quit being a baby. There was no such thing as pain free dentistry then and he was trying to numb me for a cavity. He got in one shot and I freaked and so did he (obviously) and started yelling. I cried the whole time and refusedAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959642765173432596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293979064486243693.post-36846008390391664762009-02-02T21:16:00.000-08:002009-02-02T21:16:00.000-08:00I HATE dentists because when I was 8 I was having ...I HATE dentists because when I was 8 I was having a root canal done and the dentist got the drill STUCK in my tooth. It took him over 1/2 an hour to get it out. SUCKED! But I have sucky teeth. Its genetic. no matter what I do. I have 2 crowns and have had 6 root canals. And I brush and floss and do not drink soda. So though those things DO make a difference, it is probably just genetics Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676641685643149677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293979064486243693.post-91877912365008300072009-02-02T21:10:00.000-08:002009-02-02T21:10:00.000-08:00hum ... all these comments are pretty funny to rea...hum ... all these comments are pretty funny to read in light of Joel's upcoming profession. :) Anywho, i don't enjoy the dentist either. both my parents have bad teeth so i'm pretty much always guaranteed to get fillings when i go.<BR/><BR/>Joel's wondering which teeth this are ... i saw you wrote #1 molars and he says those are wisdom teeth, so tell us which #.
