the streak is over

Yes, my friends, for as many years that I have been on this Earth I have had a long and storied history of having zero cavities.

But today, I visited the dentist, and my doctor informed me that I have a small cavity in my bottom right tooth in the far back of my mouth.

This angered me. So my question to you is how many cavities do you have?

2. Both were without sedatives. The first wasn't that bad, I hardly felt anything. But the second.... Fifteen of the worst minutes of my life.

The hole just kept getting bigger and bigger and I felt the drill scraping off pieces of my tooth nerve.

I have 6 cavities, but only because I grind my teeth at night.

Hey Typhoid, my mom has the same problem, and I know that she wears some sort of a teeth-guard at night.

And Angrist, why oh why didn't you just take the sedative?? That makes me teeth throb just thinking about the drill scraping off parts of the tooth nerve.

Oh, and I can't count how many cavities I had in my baby teeth. I think I have two in my adult teeth.

I had 2 in my baby teefs and I think 2 and a possible 3rd in my growned-ups.

But considering that my dental hygiene has been lacking for many years, I grind my teeth, and I'm addicted to soda, I'd say my dental health issues haven't been nearly as bad as they could be... Though I'm sure it'll get worse as the years go on ;o

Pain or no pain, with me all it takes is the knowledge of what they're doing, the tugging, the pressure, etc to make me one of my dentist's worst patients.

I don't believe I have had any cavities.

And I stil have two baby teef

Fox 6 · 03-18-2008, 11:03 PM

3 i believe.

I've had a decent amount in my life. Probably 8 or so I think.

I just got my third one filled last week. Upper right 2nd molar, lower right 2nd molar, and lower left 2nd molar. I kind of expect my upper left 2nd molar to get one too but it'd be pretty funny if it didn't.

I have two permanent baby teeth. I had a cavity in one of them, and then it came back, so I had it refilled. So technically I have had 2 cavities in the same tooth, but I've never had a cavity in one of my permanent adult teeth.

Well. The first time really wasn't that bad, I hardly felt anything. So the second time I wanted to be a tough boy and said 'try without one'.

Of course the dentist didn't expect that he had to go so deep. 1/3 of that tooth is filled.

I'm in the same situation as you, my friend. Zero to date...but the next time I go, I'm certain my streak will be over.

Jason1 · 03-19-2008, 04:59 PM

Ah I think 2 or 3, maybe, both were a long time ago...I seldom go to the dentist anymore. My parents say now that im older there is no need to go twice a year like I used to. I tend to agree.

Angrist · 03-19-2008, 05:59 PM

My dentist didn't want to see me within a year.

I hadn't been to the dentist in like 2 or 2 years, and I only had one cavity.

At first I thought the title said that the STEAK is over and I was deeply concerned.

Thank god there are just painful craters in your teeth.
