Went to get my teeth cleaned today and ended up needing some X-rays and all that since I hadn't had any in a few years. This whole time I thought I was doing better with flossing and all manner of oral hygiene and I could walk off with a clean bill of health.
I wish. Found out I have two small cavities - honestly, I could not even see what my dentist was pointing at on my X-ray because it was so small. And not only that, but I found that six of my other teeth are on the verge of developing cavities. As in if I don't floss better, I will have six more cavities by the end of the year.
Goddammit. And I found I need to get my wisdom teeth out in August too...even though they aren't even bothering me at all. I tell ya, some days it's not worth it to have teeth. I know it could be worse and those cavities are in the back, but motherfucker - SIX more? That means unless I floss religiously for the rest of my life, I could have eight cavities to fill in the span of this year.
I have no issue with flossing at all...it's just I thought I was doing it right. My dentist showed me how to slide the floss into the gums without cutting them and I was doing that. Not good enough, I guess. Le sigh. At least my teeth don't look rotten yet.
The worst part is I may need to give up coffee since the way I make it is so sugary. I would give up chocolate and cookies and all other junk food, but I love coffee too much. That pisses me off the most, I think.
