I've Had a Lot of Cavities

My last two visits to the dentist were successful! NO CAVITIES (three cheers for me to being sanitary!) I used to be embarrased about how many cavities I've had but I don't really care anymore. The magic number is about 20. That's funny because I only have 24 of the 30 teeth humans are supposed to have, so I have a filling for almost every tooth.

Why do I have such a cavity rittled <-- (spelling?) history? My parents used to own a liquor store/deli in Guernville when I was 2-4 years old. I used to steal candy ALL the time and hide it under my pillow. When I put my head on my pillow the crackling of candy wrappers would give me away. I think that messed me up for years to come. I also had a "i don't want to brush my teeth" phase when I was a kid.

Why do I have such a small amount of teeth? Answer: my mouth is so small I had to get a bunch of molars taken out so there'd be room and I wouldn't have shark face.

I floss regularly, have a sonicare and a mouth guard for my bruxism. My dentist told me on my last visit that some of my old fillings are starting to wear thin and crack - that sucks.
