my teeth

I used to have great teeth. When I was young, they were straight and strong. When I was a teenager, I stopped taking care of them. I wish I had understood the consequences. After several years without seeing a dentist, I was pleased to have only one cavity, but the damage seems to have been done. I take care of them now, but about every year since then, I have to have another cavity filled. My teeth turned yellow, but they are still straight, and still seem strong - or did until today.

This afternoon, I broke a tooth. I bit into a cookie and there was pain (chocolate chip - refrigerated). I quickly got the food out of my mouth - swallowed it - and then realized there was a rough edge in there. It looks like the side of a molar gave way. It exposed the side of the filling. It doesn't hurt, but there's a slight ache that's started in my jaw, so I think it will. I'll call the dentist first thing in the morning.

So what's up with teeth? Why don't they last as long as we do? Intelligent Design, my ass.

If I was going to replace Windows ME, with Windows XP, what would I need to know?
