breathe in ... that wonderful laughing gas

we've learned an important life lesson...
never wait 3 years to see a dentist.

Jimmy ended up with 11 cavities... and 1 (maybe 2) root canals. And Miss Heather ended up with 3 cavities with 1 needing a root canal. Wah-wah.

Today I made the 1st visit to get those cavities filled. Thanks to an enjoyable movie and all that laughing gas, I survived and felt semi-relaxed. I sure did lots of deep breathing with that mask on.

I am NOT looking forward to the root canal. Bleh... We'll see how that goes in a few weeks.

Here's to floss, listerine, and bi-annual dental visits!

You should add a sonicare toothbrush to that list if you haven't already. I've been using one for about 10 years now and although I rarely floss (maybe once a month) they always tell me what GREAT shape my teeth and gums are in and that I must be "doing everything right" ha ha!
