A warning that cracked me up nice and well.

So yesterday, I told you about having to go to the dentist to get the treatment plan for my teeth. Years of grinding my teeth (even with a mouthpiece) finally did damage we had to fix (luckily the damage is not visible; it’s at the sides of my mouth). So my dad went along to hear the final bill since I have zero money for that. Near the end of her giving me the information, she said as an afterthought that she reviewed my medication list. And while none of it had hurt my teeth yet, some of it could weaken it in the future. I told her to let me know which ones were the most harmful, but if it was my antidepressants I’d never be able to get off of them. I did say I could try to get the dosage lowered. When we got in the car I told my dad I know he’d never want me to get off of antidepressants because he remembers what I’m like without them. He said gravely, “Amber, I’d never want you to go off of them because I know what you’re like WITH them.” That sent me into a fit of giggles. Do you know if your medicine, those of you who take any, has any long term effect on your teeth?
