Oh, dentist talk.
I get many compliments about my smile, and that's because I'm a fanatic about my teeth.
I have inheirited a lot from my mom, and she had all of her teeth pulled at age 21 or so. She was told she had some gum disease that could not be fixed. She's had dentures from that age on.
So when I got to be a late teen, I started having nightmares that I was grinding my teeth in my sleep, adn they were breaking apart and falling out of my mouth. In the dream, I would wake up to shards of teeth all over my pillow.
then, I would wake up in real life, and not open my eyes, but pat the pillow first, to make sure there were no teeth there.
I go to the dentist twice a year for cleaning and check ups, brush, floss, and even have a metal pick to get in between the teeth between visits.
