Confounding my dentist

I find it very amusing that, every time I visit my dentist, the dental hygenist always reminds me that they can 'do something about that'. The 'that' in question is a stain on one of my front teeth due to having been on crazy antibiotics immediately after birth (somehow, having everything but my brain and spinal column infected isn't a *good* thing. Thus, why I was removed from my mother's body two months early).

The other front tooth also has a discoloration, but it is very, very white - and not a brownish color that keeps making people inform me that I have lipstick on my tooth. See, people, I don't *wear* lipstick. Yeah.

Anyway - dentist. So, every time they say so, my reply is something about not caring about it enough to do something to it which isn't going to be permanent (the main option seems to be to cover it up with something, which will have to be redone every so often). Not entirely sure why this is such a confusing thing, but there ya go.

If I were going to do something drastic with my teeth, it'd be braces, since I have an overbite. But, no. Ouch. And, expensive. That money can go somewhere else.

Anyway. Dentists. Apparently I'm just not vain (my brain wanted to write 'vein'!) enough.

On the plus side, my dental hygenist is always very impressed with my dental hygiene. I have happy teeth. :)
