Combine that with a sweet tooth so big it would put Alaska to shame, and an addiction to Mountain Dew running in the realm of 7 to 9 cans a day, multiply by 10 years ...
Yeah, my teeth were not in good shape. On the plus side, my upper denture gives me the best smile I've ever remembered having.

It's weird, because, although I don't always brush my teeth as much as I should ( ) I have never gotten any Cavities (SP) and our dentist always commends me on having the best teeth out of the family... Maybe I just have good teeth?
Well, I hope you do better with those dentures... can dentures get Cavities, by the way?
TriezGamer wrote:Not cavities, really, but they can eventually wear down -- even if they did get cavities, you can just buy new ones. That's not an option with REAL teeth.
