I had a dentist appointment today. In preparation for it I have been listening to "Dental Care" by Owl City all week. Luckily, the dentist did not scream and lose his patience...my hygienist attended to me! :)
What were my results you may ask? I am CAVITY FREE!! :D
I also had the usual praises for my beautiful teeth Apparently they are just the size and shape that they ought, and I have a beautiful bite (thank you braces!). And yes...the above smile is most certainly mine...or at least should be. Alas that I never went into teeth modeling!
Oh, and I have learned that I can NEVER drink soda again. I had always understood the drinking of soda to be harmful to the teeth because of the sugar and resulting cavities. BUT IT IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN THAT!! Apparently, the reason why any carbonated drink is so harmful, whether it be Root Beer, Coke Zero, or Seltzer Water, is that the carbonation is acidic. When the carbonation is then combined with the acidity of the stomach...the result is a burb! The acidity then enters into mouth saliva and wears away the enamel of the teeth!! :O
And THAT, my dear friends, is why soda is bad!
So...remember to brush and floss or you can kiss that smile goodbye!! ;P 
Yay for you! And you do have a pretty smile.
