Thank you, Dentists.

Today I went to the dentist. Most people dread this- I look forward to it. Weird? Perhaps. But, there is something about the bright lights, comfy reclined chair, and free toothbrushes that gets me every time. Often times, I fall asleep in the chair. Example: When they put my braces on, they had to wake me up several times so my mouth would stay open. Similar to this morning at 7 in the a.m. My hygentist kept nudging me to open my mouth a little wider, every time I drifted off to sleep. Most people tense up in the dentist chair, I relax big time. I enjoy pushing the button to fill my cup with water and choosing my flavor of flouride, as well as my new colored toothbrush.
I am obsessed with brushing my teeth. You could call it a hobby. I do it typically at night, in the morning, every time before I leave the house, and sometimes when I am just bored. Also, I love to floss.  It is safe to say this is why I probably have no cavities and thus enjoy the dentist so much. When I was younger- I used to have fangs. That's right, my class mates called me Dracula. I went along with it because I felt embarrassed. I had an extra set of Canines that popped out of my gums over top of my baby teeth. Heinous at its finest. After having 7 teeth pulled in one sitting- and making extreme bank from the tooth fairy- I was able to fix this problem. So, it is to the dentist I owe my social life and my first savings account to. He saved me from being called Dracula the rest of my life, possibly having no friends, and giving rise to my piggy bank. I would just like to say thank you to every dentist out there. You are the best.
