After the baby cried off and on for 4 hours today (beating the total sum of crying he has done in his 5 1/2 month life), I then went to the dentist.
D and I went together and Dina, the Dentist, went on and on about how beautiful my teeth are and how I take such good care of them. I felt slightly puffed up and frankly couldn't wait to rub it into my husband in the little room next door. He drinks coffee, drinks soda, blah, blah, blah.
Dina said, "We'll just take x-rays since you haven't had any in over a year. Just a formality." Translation--anything to jack up the price of this visit since the insurance company is only paying around 25 cents.
She came back shocked.
"You have two cavities. In between your teeth."
Oops.
K: "Would it have helped if I drank tap water because you know I am a bit of a water snob and I cringe just using it to brush my teeth?"
Dina, the Dentist: "Nope."
K: "Is this my punishment for not flossing?"
Dina, the Dentist: "Yep."
And then I had to go out and face "Mr.-I-Floss-Twice-A-Day-Because-Flossing-Is-So-Important."
Sometimes life is SO. NOT. FAIR.

BFF here. I went to the dentist earlier this year. First time, in an embarrassing number of years--over fifteen. I got a little puffed up after the visit myself. I drink coffee, sodas, blah blah. And, NO cavities!! heehee [BTW, I am actually voicing the heehee part, at this moment!] :)
I floss at least once a day...I am SO ANAL about it, it drives the PK crazy...:)
He flosses about once or twice a week.
So far, my teeth are better than his...:)
I floss twice a day - I had braces - it's so hard to get out of those habits, once you are in them. I have better teeth than hubby (and he flosses twice a day too), but his are straighter - and he didn't have to have braces.
