Love your teeth

Kissing prevents tooth decay! This is among the Valentine's Day insights from the Academy of General Dentistry that you probably don't want to share with your teen-age children. This one might be safer: the Academy also advises that kissing couples exchange up to 500 kinds of germs. I love the fact that the Academy of General Dentistry has some poor hack in a cubicle somewhere grasping for connections between dental care and major holidays. That's not too far from some of the jobs I've had in my writing past. Come to think of it, since I seem to be casting around for a way to get some Valentine content in this blog, I guess it's not too far from what I'm doing now.
