Thank you both very much. You both are an inspiration. I try not to let it bother me and most of the time i do not. Sometimes it gets to me. I will however mention that i am good at checking my mouth out. I think I check once a day before i go to bed. No one can really tell me why I got it, but it has to be either hereditary or from not taking care of my teeth. I also just read that the mercury fillings are not as safe as they once though so maybe I will have those removed. The hereditary part I cannot control as I have never met my birth family. But I can control the taking care of my mouth. Thank you for your information.
