Yes, I had vicarious dental distress. But was pleased about the trip to the library after! :)

There are few traumas in life that a leisurely trip to the library can't ease...

Oh my... I understand too well.

The other piece of the teeth-guard thing is that is manages the stress that zeroes in on my jaw... is what I've discovered.

Take care!!

Yes! This was the other reason my dentist suggested I start wearing a proper mouth guard - awful jaw issues. The power of the human bite is pretty incredible. What I'm finding is, the longer I wear the mouth guard at night, the more consecutive chews I get during the day before my jaw locks up.

What does my future hold? Soup and porridge? Smoothies forever? I mean, I like smoothies, but they will never replace the crunch of a perfect potato chip.
