regular dental checkups

I used to skip my regular dental checkups because I thought brushing was enough, but then a tiny cavity turned into a root canal. Now I go every six months like clockwork. The hygienist scrapes off the stubborn plaque I miss, the dentist checks for anything brewing under the surface, and I usually end up with free floss and a new toothbrush. It's not glamorous, but it beats the hell out of emergency appointments and that weird metallic taste of drilling.
