They do? I thought Dad was the one I got the hard teeth from *as well as* the small jaw, and that your side of the family got cavities easily? I didn't get any until the braces came off.
I'd been told sealant was a moot point for adults. Hm.
Chewing ice seems to be hopelessly genetic. I swear, I'd broken the habit pretty well - partially because the freezer was set so cold they were too hard - and the kids started doing it, without ever seeing me do it.
I may ask the dentist about sealants when I see him next. Which is going to be annoying anyway. Darn it, nothing in my mouth hurt at all until I went back in for the cleaning - then an area of my mouth got sores apparently from stress, possibly from the stress of the cleaning - and then they did that dental work and now I swear all my lower jaw hurts all the time.
