of course.

i think i have my first cavity ever.
i checked out webmd first, to see what symptom finder had to say. the diagnosis: heartburn, bulimia, or methamphetamine use. thanks, webmd.
in elementary school, every thursday morning there was a mandatory schoolwide 30-second fluoride swish. the teacher would pass out dixie cups and after the morning announcements, we all had little mouths full of fluoride and faces contorted in disgust. after the longest half-minute ever, every k-5 child would spit in unison and that was it.
23 years and cavity free.
i guess protection leftover from a forced childhood routine can't last forever. nor can being covered by my parents' dental insurance.
timing, you always do things like this.
