31. Speaking of dentists
I had a dentist tell me to brush very hard, and that it was healthy for my gums to bleed when I did it. Well, recently I decided to use some of my insurance for a neglected dental visit (another dentist in another city, though). The hard brushing had damaged my gums and wouldn't let them heal. My eighty-eights were slightly loose because of it. Luckily, they firmed up again with the healing.

So if you live in Seattle, beware of the dental clinic at Broadway and Pine. Though with the turn over in dentists, the bad one I had is probably long gone.
