Over the years, I've become really compulsive about my teeth.
I go to the dentist every six months to have them cleaned & checked. As a result, they're in pretty good shape now, although I had a lot of problems many years ago as a young adult since my parents didn't take care of my teeth growing up. But I still always dread going to the dentist. I start ruminating over it about a week before every appointment.
I'm glad to hear you're getting your dental problems taken care of...
