I went to the dentist yesterday for the first time in 4 or 5 years.

I brush my teeth once a day (before bed), occasionally use Scope in the morning, and have only recently started flossing about once a week.

After poking at my teeth and stabbing at my gums, the dentist informed me that everything is pretty much in top form. I was bracing for news of cavities and was quite pleasantly surprised that all I have to worry about is a little gingivitis around my rear teeth. I suppose I’ll try to do a better job flossing back there.
