Though not at all related to my ability to make friends, I thought I would share the story of my visit to the dentist today because I was completely floored by what happened.
Now, I don't mean to psych you up for something awesome because I assure you its actually completely utterly un-awesome.
So there I am at the dentist. I went less than year ago back home and was told I had two cavities. They said they weren't nothing and to keep up my brushing and flossing and that he would check in on them next time to see if they needed to be filled. I guess I went with his logic but in retrospect he should have just filled them even if they were small.
Anyways, so the year progresses and I am fairly obsessed with my dental hygiene.
Then comes today. I get to this new place and they do full x-rays of my teeth. I tell them about the two cavities I had prior and they come back with me with a different number. They tell me I have 10 cavities.
10 cavities.
How does one, who brushes so frequently, get 8 cavities in less than a year? I understand I eat a lot of candy, but I have seriously cut down on my sugar intake this past year and have certainly up-ed my over dental care. I didn't even know it was possible to get that many cavities in such a short amount of time. It just seems out of this world that I would be able to get that many cavities over a period of time where I was eating less sugar and using more fluoride enriched products.
In other news, I still need a job, even more so now because I for sure can't afford this shit.
