little bitty girl

I got my teeth cleaned today after not going for almost a year. What can I say? I'm the type of person that needs to be harassed repeatedly before I go. It's not that I hate going to the dentist, I just can't be bothered to remember appointments so far ahead in time. I can barely remember my anniversary or birthdays for Pete's sake.

I've never really understood people's fear of dentists. Even as a child I was so fascinated by all the gee gads that dentists have. It also helps that I've always had very nice, funny dentists. I usually lie there and if the appointment is early enough, I can almost fall asleep.

People say it's also because I have never had issues with my teeth. Only three cavities in the 29 years of my life. I can't help but crow over this fact because I am really, really lazy with dental hygiene. I only floss when I remember and I sometimes fall asleep at night without brushing. I hear dentists everywhere gasping with horror.

On the other hand, Stef is every dentist's dream. He brushes all the time and flosses like a maniac. He always has issues with his teeth. He's convinced my dentist is a quack for never finding any problems.

Sometimes, (very rarely) the fates just like to take my side.
