Cavities & Fillings

I'm getting a filling today
3rd one of my life
I still remember these 3 old, grey haired ladies visiting my first grade class. None of the three had ever gotten a cavity let alone a filling. They lectured at length on the virtues of oral hygiene. Apparently what resulted was a deep seeded bias against those with fillings; they were failures. That sentiment weighed heavily on me as a 21yearold when I'd gotten my first two. In shame, I didn't leave my apartment for nearly a month and a half. Not sure how I'll react this time, but I'll recommend to all of you, go to the dentist while you're in college.
