I have good teeth.

Yup, was texting Jen and she said "WEH!". Inggit daw. Has been 35 years and no problems. No cavities, no drilling, no pulling, no chipping, no braces. Should have gotten braces for the lower tooth that overlapped another one but didn't. "Lalaki ka naman,"  they said when I was young. So no braces.

So there, 35 years without problems. Until I hit 36.

Neglected my teeth the past year, wasn't able to go to the dentist for cleaning. Ayun, madumi na sya when I had it cleaned yesterday by Dr. Tarriela at BF Phase 3. Calcar buildup, nicotine and coffee stains, etc. And now I have cavities starting.

I've always hated going to dentists. Parati akong pinapagalitan dahil sa lifestyle ko. Dr. Tarriela was different. I think she had a hard time with my teeth, but she was understanding. Sayang nga daw, after 35 years ngayon pa lang nagsisimula ang sira.

Two years ago, I had a hole starting on my front tooth. It was the size of a pin prick, too small to do anything about it. Now it's about the size of a pencil point. No other choice but to fill 'er up else the hole got bigger. Ngayon lang ko naka-relate sa sakit ng nagpapaayos ng ngipin, never had a drill touch the insides of my teeth. Ganun pala kasakit yun. Araguy~... Seems with my lifestyle (smoking, firebreathing, fire poi and all) I will have to go to the dentist twice as much as normal people with the nicotine and tar buildup. So that makes it every 3 months instead of every 6 months visits. I tend to brush my teeth too vigorously, I mow down toothbrushes a whole lot faster.. Good. I chew ice... Bad... Doc thought I opened beer bottles with my teeth because of the trauma, ice lang daw pala.

Slept through the whole night because of the pain of cleaning and drilling.
But now I can smile again. Hehehehe. The hole's been plugged up.
