ll: I think it was Jesus who said, "Never hit a guy who puts pointy things in your mouth."

Trina: On the fulfillment scale, rich dwarf falls somewhere between amputee drummer, and schizophrenic homeless recording artist.

Farrago, Fermicat + Josh: I could get lucky, but I can FEEL how bad it is. My mouth always hurts. It's going to be bad. Plus I don't have any time.

Mike: I don't know who Robert Kiyosaki is, only that I'm supposed to know he's the "Rich Dad." One interesting thing I've noticed though. A different ad has run for this thing each day for the past three days. The first one had Trump's big scary head, the second one scaled it back a bit and only put him on half the page, and today, there's only a small picture of him in a box at the bottom with the others. Is he not as big a draw as they thought, or his his greasy head frieghtening children and the elderly?

kenju: Cool, a potential new person to disappoint on a regular basis! Just skim the archives when I'm slow to post. Remember, old posts need comments, too.

NYP: My dentist isn't bad, really, I just feel like I've let him down. And I know eventually I'm going to have to watch that video again about impacted molars. Not really looking forward to that, either. Man, everyone's talking about dentists. I only mentioned it to explain my apprehension about checking stat counter after weeks of no posting (or lame, two or three sentance posts...by the way Yahoo still thinks I'm British).

When I was in the 6th or 7th grade both my sister and I refused to go back to our dentist. I'm not exactly sure why we both dug in our heels on the issue, but I'm pretty sure that his being a complete asshole had something to do with it. Both of us had quite a few cavaties, which even at the tender age of 11 I thought was kind of fishy. Fast foward about 7 years and I have my own insurance and I decide it's time to bite the bullet... grin and bear it... and a bunch of other sayings involving teeth and I go to a new dentist. Sure that I was going to end up with a mouth full of metal, imagine my surprise when he looks down at me and says, "Damn. I'm not going to make any money off of you." 7 years, no dentis, no cavaties. Strange, no? I still think the first guy was faking all the cavaties my sister and I supposedly had, but it's kind of hard to prove.
So... I don't know if moral of my story is go to the dentist or that dentists are a bunch of scamming bastards. You decide.

I saw that ad in the metro about Donald Trump, but the smiling Asian guy was Robert Kiyosaki (http://www.reincashflow.com/images/robert-kiyosaki.jpg)
My friend in Colorado is always telling me to read his stupid books... I never saw the twin dawrfs coming to town though...Was that at the same time that the old guy on the T was shredding newspapers into squares and threatening to slap a lawsuit on the T? PS. I work right across from Au Baun Pain on Boylston now, lets get lunch/pizza!

After I left college and joined the working world, I waited nine years (yes, "9") before visiting the dentist. At first I just didn't care enough to do it. But after a few years, I avoided it for just the reasons you mention. I was sure they'd find a mouthful of cavities and other horrors. But when I finally stopped procrastinating and went, there were no lectures and no cavities. I went regularly for about three visits and now I'm back to procrastinating. I think I'm about 2.5 years overdue now, and not worried about it at all.

See, so you've heard from two people already who went years with no professional dental care and had no negative consequences (other than it taking a long time for the teeth cleaning after all those years). So you can stop worrying and just go! I'm sure it'll turn out fine.

Three weeks before I was scheduled to get out of the US Air Force, I had a four-day toothache. I went to the dental sick call, where the dentist drilled for nine hours and then said I had to schedule an appointment every two weeks for about the next month and a half. When I told him the USAF was done with me in three weeks, he changed his tune to "once every other day until we get it patched up."

So for a week and a half I went every 48 hours to undergo an hour or two of root-canal joy. That was October of 1987.

Thirteen years later my wife was horrified when I told her that I hadn't been to the dentist since then, and she made an appointment for me without asking me. Now, it's not like I hadn't taken care of my teeth in that time. I brushed faithfully - if not vigorously - every day and night in those intervening years, figuring that, if I took good care of my mouth, O wouldn't NEED to go to the dentist.

Anyhoo, I went, and the hygienist had brought out the heavy weapons, certain she would find disaster when I opened my mouth.

So, look on the bright side, you could get to the dentist and have my experience... ZERO cavities. My dentist and my hygienist hate me because I beat the odds, and they don't get to drill in my face.

I'm very good about going to the dentist yearly. But the last time, the hygienist tried to kill me. My teeth bled for 3 days afterwards. Maybe I should try it your way.

Also, I wonder how fulfilling it is to be a millionaire dwarf. Sure, you're rich, but you're still short. And everything you buy is still bigger than you.

I'd suggest you try to hit the dentist sometime. It'll do wonders for your psyche when he's treating the next guy and has a black eye...
