Yay! No cavities for you! I'm gonna need to see a dentist soon for a general check up, it's been over 10 years. Who's your new dentist here in ATX?

BTW, that is *such* a cute userpic you used on this post. :)

I haven't worn mine in over two years. I had to have $600 worth of work done today. Some of that's soda, some of that's acid reflux, but I was told most of that was not wearing the nightguard. Make damn sure you wear yours.
