Dentist Appointment.

Today I have a cleaning appointment with the dentist. When I was little I believed that an entire hour of brushing my teeth would magically make all cavities (in case I had any, which I always did) go away, redeeming an entire year of shoddy brushing and sweets chawing. I would thus spend an entire hour after breakfast running around with a toothbrush in my mouth until any hint of toothpaste eventually dissolved and only spit was dribbling down my chin, doggedly brushing while periodically rubbing my front teeth with an index finger to see if it was making that squeaky clean sound yet, which everyone who is anyone knows is the ONLY scientific way to prove clean teeth.
