Worst luck with my teeth.  Have been flossing, brushing going to the dentist every 6 months and still need a root canal.  But have to say it was due to a crown that had an opening that I was not aware of so not totally my fault. Just went on a wild goose chase to get into a dentist today because I knew my tooth would not be able to make it through the weekend let alone the holiday.  BOOO!!  Drinking lots of wine to avoid the pain of the aftermath of a root canal :(
