Nitrus, Schmitrus… is it even working?

At my 3 hour dentist appointment today, the assistant offered me nitrus oxide – which I’ve never had. Which is weird, because I have pretty intense dentist anxiety. Anyway when the assistant described it to me as “it’ll just make you feel like you’re on the ceiling,” I was like BRING IT ON! :)
So my dentist [...]

I refuse to believe it… Champagne can’t be evil!

At the dentist this morning my hygienist commented that I obviously practice “excellent” home care… and then she told me I have 3 cavities. WTF? Apparently my mouth has low ph? Gah. Anyway this was my brief conversation:

If “JenTV” existed…
