Brush Your Teeth, Boys & Girls!

   So I'm having a fine burrito at Chipotle the other day when I spit out something harder and crunchier than corn... maybe over-cooked rice? I should be so lucky: a molar on my top left had broken off on the side by my tongue all the way to a filling I got in 2006. At first I thought I would be ok.. until the agony started. I left work and put my dental insurance to use for the first time. The dentist had to drill out the filling bc there was a new cavity in it.
    By the time the smoke cleared there was 25% tooth left. It felt odd. Then she stuck a filling on which feels more like a cap. It's white and looks like just a tooth. It's amazing- $86.47 amazing.
   But it freakin hurts still and I have to get a crown... That'll be $350. Niceeeeeee. I'm also going in next week for a cleaning and I just know there's more cavities lurking. Stupid teeth. Those things should just last. I brush and floss. It must be the soda. Anyway... I refuse to pull any of those out. I happen to want to keep a full set of teeth thank you...
