- When I was 6 years old, I chipped a few of my teeth. The dentist attempted to fix this by making a 'covering' - this was basically just melting a piece of plastic to my teeth using a laser. He tried something like 3 times to get it to work before my mother just told him to forget about it
- When I was 7 years old, it was discovered that I had an extra tooth growing high up in my gums. I needed surgery to have it cut out, and walked around with stitches inside my mouth for about a month.
- I had to get two teeth pulled when I was 15. The teeth themselves were perfectly healthy... for baby teeth. I had no adult teeth to replace them, so they needed to go.
- I had braces put on when I was 14. They didn't come off until I was 18. As a result, I didn't go a single day in high school without braces. During that 4 year period, I had the stupid things damaged in just about every way conceivable.
- And of course, I had all three (yes, three) of my wisdom teeth removed when I was 19
Strangely enough, though, I've never had a cavity.
