After my regular 6 month visit to the dentist (Dr. Hargrave) today I was given another thumbs up. As I was listening to Dr. Hargrave tell the hygienist about a filling that needed to be watched, he was saying that it appeared to be pulling away from the tooth. I immediately asked the Dr how long ago it was that he put the filling in. He said he had no clue how old it was and that he was not responsible for that filling. I then brought him up to speed that I only had one filling in there and he most certainly was the one who did the work. After further checking it out and a little embarrassment on his part, he admitted that indeed it was not a filling but just the natural groove in my own tooth. I\u2019m happy to say I still only have one filling in there period. I\u2019m a firm believer that it\u2019s all in the genes; I went to the dentist for the first time right before starting kindergarten and didn\u2019t walk back into a dentist\u2019s office till I was around 22. I had my first and only cavity at 35 and don\u2019t think it has anything to do with brushing, flossing, seeing the dentist, it\u2019s all in the genes if you were to ask me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
