Although it sounds like a horrible experience, I enjoyed your humorous touch to the story :P I can totally relate as well, as throughout my life my experience was that every time I went to the dentist, I'd have a cavity that needed drilling and filling. Then one time I went to a different dentist and all they said was "just floss more and you're good to go". No dentist had ever even mentioned to me that flossing can actually heal a starting/growing cavity. Thanks for sharing your story, more people need to be aware of what to look out for when it comes to dentistry.
