About Me

When I was a child and teenager, I always left the dentist's office with the great feeling of having no cavities. When I went away to college out-of-state, I had to switch to a new dentist in my area. It seemed like I was suddenly getting cavities and started wonder what my new dentist "was doing wrong".

I then realized that my late-night study sessions drinking sugary soda and my suddenly bad brushing habits were the true causes of my cavities.
