Nice! I figured there would be a few of us here on Blurt who get this one already ;)
Great work refusing the root canal 40 years ago and teaching your children how to look after their own teeth.
Yes, I think we can all feel instinctively that dentists are bad news but we generally feel helpless without them. And in pain! Thankfully that feeling is gone now, so I'm looking forward to repairing the mess they have made with a renewed focus on this particular mission :)
I am like you in the respect that I will eat anything. I tend to stick to mostly raw vegan but for sure I also listen to my body and eat meat when I feel like it. And for sure it is best if that meat is local or organic. I think the main difference these days is my garden grown juices & salads which are always super fresh & nutrient packed and aside from my teeth everything feels great! So, now that I have changed my brushing habits let's see if the teeth start to repair...
They will. And everything else in your body, when the mouth is no longer being traumatized by a sadistic dentist. Good luck!
