One lesson I've learned the hard way: when it comes to teeth and heat pumps, if you don't have the pros do maintenance every six months, it will cost you big bucks down the road. And with teeth you get physical pain on top of financial pain.

Whereas going for a cleaning every six months hardly hurts at all.

I love my dentist. He's geographically inconvenient but worth the trip. He's also the only medical person I've ever been to who went to the same college as me.
