Green Hair and Cavities

I dyed Sammy's hair green for St. Patrick's day, of course!! Her Aunt Lisa took the picture in Grandpa Olsen's barn this February.

You can all for sorry for me now. I officially have my FIRST cavity. I went to the dentist today and he said that he felt really bad to be the one to have to break the no-cavity-streak and give me a filling. I guess there is a first time for everything. The hygenist did say, after taking the x-rays, "You didn't grow up in Utah, I can tell." She said that kids who grew up in Utah, for the most part, have really thin enamel. I said we swished with flouride every week in grade school in Idaho. (Genetics play a huge part, I am guessing-- THANKS MOM.)

Hmmm. Interesting that they can tell that you didn't grow up in Utah from your teeth! Well, looks like I am the only one left in the family that has never had a cavity. (But I haven't been to the dentist for 5 years either!)

Good grief. I had no idea you two still had such great teeth. I have reached the age where I have to have fillings replaced because they are silver and wearing out and I now sport two capped teeth in the back. Yuck. Avoid that if you can.

Give me a break. I have four capped teeth, I can't even count how many cavities have been filled, thin enamel (sp?), and had braces for 2 and 1/2 years. I got the bad genes.

Holy cow Jared, you haven't been to the dentist for 5 years!!!!!!!!! THat might be my lot, but I don't know if I can afford not to go, wah.

I haven't been to the dentist in 6 years, and it'll be a few more before I go. I hate dentists! I am an anti-dentite

I can't believe this dentist talk. I love the dentist. I love the pain. I thought you kids loved getting Bro. Lyman to put his bear-paw hands down your throat, like I did. I think the bad genitics comes from me, by the way. (But don't send me your dentist bills!)
