Teeth

I just got back from the dentist. New one for me due to new insurance. I liked him! And the hygenist. Tons! I will go back. But now my teeth are sensitive and tired. So i'm eating watermelon. Pleasant and soothing. I did find out that i'm a clencher. I bite my cheeks and I have bone growth in my bottom jaw and a slightly nearly receding gum area - all signs of clenching, apparently. He said if my teeth touch each other more than 30 minutes a day then i'm clenching. So my new goals - stop clenching and start flossing - although my lack of tartar made him think i'm a good flosser - problem is I know the truth.
