Sad Day

I went to the dentist today.   My mouth is, apparently, the home of one single solitary cavity.    It is about to become the home to a filling.  Well, I haven't made the appointment yet.  A small part of me is thinking about ignoring it - if I hadn't gone to the dentist, I wouldn't know and would continue to go about things just fine.  Maybe I should put this up to a vote....

I took my cavity-less existence for granted.  I apparently didn't do enough to prevent it, but I thought since what I'd done had prevented cavities each and every time before, I was safe.  

As you can see, I am very upset about this.  It may sound trite in the big picture, but perhaps it's one of the more minor annoyances in a series of unfortunate events.  Grr.  

I think I'm going with ignoring the cavity, as childish as that may be.  Thoughts?
