Now why wouldn't I do such a fundamental, rudimentary chore? I never grew up brushing my teeth on a regular basis. Just didn't. And as for this past week, well, I've been working day and evening, plus on three mornings I woke up early to get in some overtime, and you know, with those hours, I can't spend two minutes brushing my teeth, you know?
This break in brushings dawned on me last night while I was going to bed. I thought maybe I should brush my teeth to make myself look good for the dentist who'll be taking care of me in the morning. But then I thought, well, if she or he is going to do all the work anyway ... why should I clean my teeth at all? And so I didn't, and while I got admonished by her, there were no cavities that have erupted in the two years since I got my teeth checked. Two years of no maintenance and a week-plus with no brushing, and I have no new cavities? Score!
