I was due

I went to the dentist today. First time in quite a while, I'm sorry to say. The good news is my teeth are all still there. And my gums are, on a scale from 1 - 12 where 1 is healthy and 12 is "oh-my-god-that's-gross", apparently a 3.5. The bad news is I have two "small" cavities. One apparently so small that it can be filled without anaesthetic.

Now, I've never had a cavity before, so I'm not quite sure what to expect from this whole "filling" process. That's where they use the drill, right? Wait, maybe I should just look this up on Wikipedia...

Hm, yep, drilling, anaesthetic...sounds fun.

Let that be a lesson, kids -- go to the dentist every 6 months like your mom told you.
