I have seven fewer this year than I did in 2013. One was yanked in early January after it abscessed (I'm sure plenty of you recall my endless whining about that), and six more were yanked On Wednesday. Two wisdom teeth, four teeth that could not be saved.
Egads. Not fun, of course.
I'm not sure why I have such awful teeth. When I was younger, I assumed it was because I was uninsured for most of my teens and never had regular cleanings or maintenance.
Then when I was a bit older, I assumed it was due to partying every night of the week and crashing without brushing or flossing.
So when I was about 23, I went to get my teeth fixed, once and for all. I figured since I wasn't the party animal I used to be and brushed and flossed twice daily, I don't have a sweet tooth, rarely drink soda, and was more or less healthy, it would be fixed and that would be that.
But it was not to be.
