help me, i'm scared
Folks, I am about to go to the dentist for the first time in at least five years. I've never been scared of the dentist before, but this time I am. Place your bets as to the exact number of cavities I have. First person to guess correctly gets a prize!

We need to know more! Do you brush twice a day? Floss? Regular toothbrush or power? What kind of toothpaste?
In the absence of this info, I'll be optimistic and guess zero.
Two
2.5
plus the hygienist is going to make you feel like a bad person
they always do though, even if you go regularly
Well, I am back, and the verdict is in, but I'm going to wait for some more guesses before I reveal my secret!
Pete: twice, no, regular, Tom's of Maine.
And what, pray tell, is half a cavity? Is it when you have an old filling that's falling apart and needs to be replaced? Because I was thinking about this, not to give anything away or anything, and I was thinking that it is not actually a cavity so it doesn't count, but for my purposes (i.e. being miserable in the chair) it might as well be one. Please enlighten me...
full dentures?
You know I've got a stellar oral surgeon!
I am guessing one cavity for each year, so 5 cavities. If this holds true for me, my teeth will look like Swiss cheese.

Nine
So -- How many teeth do you have?
I say 1 cavity.
Nine? Dang, Chris, I do know what toothpaste is! But I was certainly expecting worse than what I actually had, which was....
ONE! Shawn wins! Shawn wins!
Shawn, I haven't actually thought of a prize for this, so if you have any ideas let me know. Maybe you can send me a photo of your choosing and I'll post it, or (and this one could be even more dangerous) you can pick the topic of my next post.... ask a question, any question....
Aim high! I went about four years without going to the dentist and had nine cavities, and I brish twice daile, too. But they were all the same cavity, just kind of rimming the gum line. No real drilling needed, just scraping and such.
