I've been super-lucky on the teeth front. One dentist even said I could probably only go once a year(!) (Can you even imagine a dentist saying that?! But he did.) Was on ex's insurance so went regularly anyway.

But, I haven't been to the dentist in like 6 years now(!) At first it was because of no insurance, but now I've had it for a year and a half and still haven't gone(!) And I'm not even particularly afraid of dentists, it's just procrastination. And phone phobia. Well, and worrying if maybe the luck hasn't been pushed too far...

Funny you should bring this up though, because just this past week I made a list. One is right down the street. I'll call this week. Really I will!

But I do have dry mouth and couldn't agree more -- it sucks! What is this baking soda gum? I've not heard of that before.

P.S. and possibly TMI, but my mouth tastes so gross sometimes! It's never good (aside from right after brushing), but sometimes it's just really really ugh! The dry mouth probably doesn't help that situation...think the meds are culprits in both.
