I have a deep rooted fear of the dentist but it always brings good laughs when I do FINALLY make an appointment, get knocked out and the aftermath of it all. Seriously...need a little "pick me up" or a straight out belly-laugh today? Check it out.

AND good oral hygiene. Having clean teeth has always been something I thought I made a priority. However, when I met Daddy Dave he gave me a run for my money. He brushes his teeth AT LEAST 3 times a day AND flosses regularly. Ya, I know, he's gold star worthy. Me? I brush once MAYBE twice a day and floss? Let's just there there is room for improvement.
