What else goes hand in hand with a poor diet but poor oral hygiene I went to the dentist today for my yearly checkup. He asked if I liked to drink soda or eat a lot of Tic-Tacs. I don't, and my teeth were in good health, but my dentist asked me just because so many people these days have bad habits. Most Tic-Tacs, despite being technically sugar free in serving size, actually contain sugar. Regular soda, it goes without saying, has sugar. Juice is just as bad.  Then my dentist told me of a guy. An obeast truck driver. He would buy a two 12-packs of full sugar Mountain Dew soda pop from a gas station every morning. Throughout the day, he would suck down those cans of soda. In the evening when his work was done, he'd always have a few cans left over which he would take home and finish off. The next morning he would wake up and do it all over again (this is over 4,000 calories every day in soda alone, for those playing at home). His blood must have looked like tree sap. And he had at least one cavity in all 32 adult teeth he had. But the obeast had come to my dentist to only deal with one.  "Just pull it out, it's botherin' me," he'd gurgled. My dentist had been surprised. "You sure? I could save it with a root canal. And you'll have to come in to see about these other teeth." "Naw, just take it out." The fucking lard barge couldn't bring himself to give a shit about his own teeth. And so my dentist took the rotten tooth out, and that was the last he ever saw the patient because he never made another appointment for the other cavities. I hope it died because goddamn.
