A New STD

Yes I think I've identified a new sexually transmitted disease or I should say an old disease that should be labeled as such. Allow me to explain.

Some time ago I cracked a molar while I was eating during the excitement of a video adventure. No their was no women in the film. I don't usually chew during that type of show. I gulp and swallow my food whole as an involuntary reaction during such films. No matter.

Back to the point. I decided to educate myself on the potential of such an injury healing itself. True indeed teeth do have a limited ability to heal themselves and it is progressing well. However in my studies I learned something eye opening about tooth decay. Straight from a dentist if you will. They say it is a bacteria in the mouth that eats sugars and produces an acid that attacks tooth enamel. OK, so I read more and it says this bacteria is spread by kissing. !! And here sugar has been getting the blame all of these years. Tooth decay a VD.

Interesting the human race. How they have the inability at times to label something correctly for what it is. This is one area or should I say two where I stand out. I'm one who has never been plagued with any tooth decay and as a matter of fact I've never been to a dentist in my entire life of 46 years. It may have something to do with the fact that I wouldn't even let my mother kiss me since I was a boy. She smoked and I've always had the attitude that you kiss who your married to and I have no interest in engaging in lip lock with anyone else. You should try it. You'll be healthier if you do.
