A Hole in My Heart

After 30 years of keeping them at bay insidious cavities have invaded my heretofore perfect teeth. During my latest visit to the dentist, 2 cavities were discovered, meaning I am no longer a member of the one-percenters (my name for the group of people who have never had cavities or braces -- I'm not sure if it's really one percent of the population, but it sounds good). A few years ago my gums started to deteriorate and I was told it was because I was brushing too often. So I cut back from five times a day, to twice or three times. And this is what happened.
