Genetics trump Hygene

The last time I had visited the dentist this guy was being considered for president of the United States. As you do the math in your head then you realize that it had been far to long since I had been to the dentist. I was honestly prepared for the worse new possible. I dreamed of and considered how I would handle the pain of some one drilling into my tooth and my wisdom teeth being cut from my head. My teeth would hurt often and gums bleed so I thought the dentist was going to be shocked.

About three minutes into the process of my hygienist cleaning my teeth she said "You have good teeth." Really? Turns out that the gift of my teeth handed down from my family have trumped all the years of neglect of cleaning my teeth.

In the fourth minute of cleaning she said, "We can't do this all at once." I had to have two cleanings to get my teeth clean. I was prepared by my friend Peter for this reality as he had the same experience and he wore out his hygienist and she could go no further.

Biblically, gaps appeared where they had not in years. The glory of the whole trip was to be praised by more than one person about how good my teeth are and to find out I did not have a single cavity.

So I got a new and powered tooth brush out of the whole deal and my teeth fell awesome. I'm glad my awesome genes fought back 15 years of neglect but I don't plan on going another 15 with my next visit.
