a trip to the dentist

Preface
Here is an apology to all those who are not as fortunate as I.
I am so sorry.

and yet again... I am awesome. It's that simple. I have never had a cavity, and today I still don't. How great is that?! Anyways, some people have a huge fear of the dentist, but I've always assumed those people to have bad teeth. And this is why; If you've never had a bad experience there, why would you fear it? And why would you have a bad experience if you had good teeth? See how that all works out? And then there are those, (such as myself,) who have had a bad experience, and still are the utmost icon of bravery.

Now, I know I am dooming myself to a world of people staring at my front tooth, but if you've never noticed, it is chipped... fixed, but chipped all the same. And you can tell because it is ever so slightly discolored. So here's the story behind it. Once upon a time, before Julina knew she was allergic to cats, she asked for one for Christmas. She got a bike instead. Christmas day, Julina went out to learn how to ride that bike at Gene Ward Elementary school. Julina ran into a pole. Twice. The second time, she chipped half her front tooth off and had to get it fixed at the dentist. Julina has since re-chipped her front tooth on a wooden rocking horse, a mike-and-ike(?), another pole, and Karalyn's forehead. Each time, the dentist has nicely put me back together again. Now, if you ever ask to see it, I will politely answer, 'no,' so let's all save ourselves some awkwardness and avoid doing so. (at best, you can try and steal yourself a look when someone tells a really funny joke and I'm laughing or something.) Basically, the dilemma here is whether I should leave it as is, (except re-doing it to fix the color issue,) or should I cap it? I've heard caps can sometimes give people issues because of sensitive gums, but that's like a one-in-a million chance... something like that. But then again, if I leave it as it is, it will need to be replaced every few years to keep it looking good. Or I can let it look however it wants to. forever. And let's face it, I won't be on my parents insurance forever. They're willing to pay whatever, just as long as I'm happy with it. (great parents, aren't they?) (also, I didn't even bring up my teeth, changing it was all my mom's idea... kinda makes me wonder if she thinks it looks bad or something...) So, anyone with any advise/experience/preferences on the subject?

Now I'm off to the grocery store. I'm making dinner tonight. Broccoli potato cheese soup. Easy, but SO good. ok! wonderful! bye!
