Last Tuesday I went for my dental checkup and got informed that I have a cavity on one of my lower wisdom teeth. Of course all the self-guilt started to sink in on how could I have let this happen. I'm 32 years old and just now getting my first cavity.
A friend helped me realize that the wine, coffee, sweets etc. combined with getting older more than likely contributed to the cavity. It made me realize that I am drinking more wine, more coffee, and eating more sweets. Brushing once a day, stretching dental visits and next to no flossing just isn't going to cut it anymore. I have to make the necessary daily adjustments to ensure that my teeth and gums stay healthy for a very long time.
My cavity filling is scheduled for next Tuesday the 16th. While I am nervous, I am confident that there should not be any unexpected problems.
