So I would be remiss if I didn't share this with the world.
I honestly never thought it would happen to me, especially at the ripe old age of 29.
But it has happened!
I have...
...my first cavity! :)
I noticed it today as I subbed in a 5th grade class...I bit into a Starburst candy (I almost never eat chewy candy or hard candy, I'm pretty strictly chocolate-all-the-way, but I was dying during snack/reading time and it was all I had in my prize box to eat). I had no warnings and didn't notice a thing at all before this, but as I was administering the spelling test I bit into that candy and suddenly it was searing pain--the kind that drills into your jaw and makes you cry against your will--and I just knew. A peek in the mirror confirmed it.
Even better, I think I've got one coming in on exactly the opposite side! I have cheek-insides that cover those teeth all day long (they're the very back ones, right in front of my half-in wisdom teeth) so it's not surprising. But still.
I can no longer say I've never had a cavity! Now I've just got to find the time to get to a dentist and get it checked out/drilled & filled...
I'm gonna go drink some milk now. :) Sometimes you just gotta laugh.
When was your first cavity?
I never had a cavity in my adult teeth until 3 years ago. (I had one in a baby tooth but it fell out so that doesn't count right?). After going through 2 pregnancies so close together and having morning sickness all day and all nine months (both times) I got a cavity in towards the end of my pregnancy with Belle. It was such a bummer-I was so sad about my no longer cavity free teeth but oh well I am over it now.
