Deadly toothache...yeah, seriously.

I went to the dentist's just last week or so, and he said that my teeth are excellent. I guess it's because I drink lots of tap water (lots of fluoride) and because I brush twice a day (occasionally three), not too roughly, not too gently.

It's funny because when I was younger I was notorious among my family for having awful teeth; never any cavities (fillings) or anything, but the colour of them was a tad off due to me having a major sweet tooth. There was much exaggeration about the colour; yellow, green, brown. Perhaps all of that encouraging cruel talk has made me more cautious with the quality of my teeth.

When I was younger a few of my teeth were growing at erratic angles and threats of braces were abound at the dentist's. Fortunately my teeth straightened out on their own; the amount of children/teenagers with braces today really surprises me, what with brushing being more enforced and what not.

(lol look at me prattling on about my teeth.)

Regarding the article posted, I do feel incredibly sorry for that twelve year old. Dying because of such a thing (toothache) is really absurd and unfortunate. I send his family my condolences.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
