My visit to the Shoreline Family Dentist ended with six cavities and one chipped tooth. That’s one cavity per year since I’ve seen the dentist last. Tomorrow I go in to get three fillings. I am taking Nina, my office manager’s, advice and bring my dell dj to listen to while they drill. Dental drills must be the single worst sound ever.

On the positive side, the dental hygenist said that despite my six cavities, my gums and other teeth look good, probably due to my excessive water consumption and the Sonicare toothbrush.
