 Posted: 01/19/06 - 13:19 Post subject: Poll not poll: Brushing Teeth & Dentist visits...
(was just talking to the g/f about this)
i haven't been to the dentist since i graduated - i don't have any dental coverage right now... but my teeth are all in good shape.
i went for my annual checkup, and sometimes twice a year...
i'm brushing lots and flossing more often, so i think that makes a difference...
sooo - a semi poll.
How often do yah go to the dentist?
How crazy are you about keeping your teeth clean? brush? floss? white strips?
i'm cavity free - i'll be real mad if i botch it in the next few years.

Every six months, like clockwork.
I just brush and floss.
I haven't had a cavity since I was in college, when I didn't have dental insurance and didn't see the dentist regularly.

i'm hoping that the lack of sugar in my diet will keep my teeth up... i'm hearing rootbeer is horrible, they actually call them 'rootbeer' cavities.

I drink an awful lot of soda, and have since I was a kid. I didn't get my first cavities until a couple years ago.
I've started going to the dentist every four-six months or so more because my gums are more a problem than my teeth.

I brush atleast three times a day and floss every night (mostly every night)
Visit the dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and check up.

My dentist stalks me... 
If i don't call them, they send post cards reminding me it's time for a check up. They call me at home and at work...
I've been with the same dentist forever...

some regulars of mine at Hortons moved to the end of my street. the niece worked with me, we confirmed that they were stalking me.
moving in to stalk is such a commitment.

I went to the dentist for the first time in 9 years 2 years ago. He gave them a good look and cleaned them, but said,"Don't bother coming back here for a few more years - you've got a great pair of choppers."
Never had a cavity in my 31+ years of life.
Oh, and I brush when I go to bed and again when I get up.

it's really all a lie.
the mom is hot. the daughters are hot.
i could *be* so fortunate to be stalked by them.
90% of the male staff at hortons stalked them (including the owner  )
...on end of things i always go for a walk and stretch after my run... i always walked to the end of my street (the natural turnaround point for me)... except that's exactly where they live.
i'm not changing even it does look stalkerish... dammit i lived on the street first.

the niece even travelled with us in the summer - so now i'm in the family photo album.
she was a spy. planted. there's no other explanation. she infiltrated the team when i was in college.
