Curly Fries and Cavities

Posted on 11:00 by rendy orton
Curly Fries
French fries are good. Curly fries are even better.

This was part of my lunch the other day.
Yes, they were as delicious as they look.

Each time I eat curly fries, I'm reminded of the Hardee's restaurant that used to be next to my dad's pediatric dentist office. I remember my mom taking us to eat there before our check-ups and sometimes when we were just stopping by the office to say hi or drop Costco/Sam's Club supplies off.
Am I remembering that accurately, mom?

Cavities
Speaking of dentist visits, most of my check-ups ended with all smiles. That's what you'd expect of a dentist's kid, right? Well, not all of my visits were clean. In fact, I'd venture to say I am the sibling that had the most cavities.

Darn (and beloved) sweet tooth. Still afflicts (and overjoys) me. Luckily I've learned to floss and brush better, so haven't had a cavity in years--knock on wood.

So I always loved going to the dentist, because I was happy to see my dad. What do you guys think of dental check-ups? Are they better or worse for you as an adult than they were as a kid?
