I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some...

Gpta give her points for trying!
And did you stand firm?!!
I'm assuming you both limit the junk your kids get...which would be more than most do.
My sister's twin girls never knew what their last name, (Candy)meant until they went to school and saw all the junk other kids had. When they first went out for Hallowe'en, they didn't know what they were given..they started licking the wrappers since they didn't know about packging! They'd do the same with Kraft cheese slices...they thought it was all plastic, they'd only had the really best old cheddar!
MOI: I did not buy the gum. I don't mind some candy, but not too much. My mom used to be a pain in this regard, always giving them sugar. The worst was gum, which we would find stuck everywhere.
tin-tin: No, I did not.
barbara: I did not buy the gum. Which got this response from Jason "You always say 'No' more than mommy does. It's always no, no, no, no, no. Why don't you ever say yes?"
