Big Tooth

I went to the dentist today to get my teeth cleaned. I hadn't been to the dentist in about 6 or 8 years because I didn't have any dental coverage. My teeth weren't very clean. They were almost fuzzy feeling. The cleaning wasn't very much fun. I kept remembering the part in Armageddon where Hound Dog, one of the oil drillers that was being sent into space, asked the lady that was strapping him into the spaceship if she liked knowing that if anything happened to her NASA job she could always get a job at Helga's House of Pain. I was glad that when the dentist finally came in and spent two minutes looking at my x-rays and poking my teeth he said I only had 2 cavities. I thought I probably had more than that. The main reason I went to the dentist was because I have an enormous cavity that I want to get filled before I need a root canal. I already had one of those and don't want to get another one. No matter how much of a pain in the ass brushing your teeth is, getting a root canal is much worse. Much worse.
