I Am Proud To Open My Mouth.

I’m back from an 8 am appointment at my dentist this morning. I went for a cleaning. It’s been a while since I’ve had my teeth professionally cleaned, maybe several years. For the most part, I hate visiting the dentist.

Dentists and hygienists know teeth, so imagine my satisfaction when the hygienist said, “Wow, your teeth are so clean. You have great at-home care.”

In fact, my fangs were so clean she had trouble finding tartar on them! She had trouble! Ha!

Why does this make me so happy? Well, obviously one wants clean and healthy teeth and I’m no exception. But what’s more is that, had I not quit sweets, my teeth would’ve been loaded with months (possibly years) of corn syrup, chocolate, sugar, caramel, etc. I mean, I’d have still cleaned them and brushed them and whatnot but my soft and sensitive teeth have less to battle when there’s little to no sweeteners running amuck all over them.

My teeth are healthier and cleaner as a result of not eating sugar. And it shows.

I never thought about that. Yet another fine reason to quit sugar! Thanks David.
