stupid teeth

recall my dentist visit stain removal trauma of a few weeks ago. well, to prevent the 'i love coffee and red wine' stains on my teeth for the next six months before i see candy again, i've been brushing like a crazy person, harder and with a 'professional grade' (what?) toothbrush. well, pretty much all my gums are torn apart, and i look like a prostitute with a vitamin c deficiency. but i don't have any stains, and that's the important thing.
