My problem was not cavities but gum disease and broken teeth. Teeth would
loosen and fall out on their own. Until this last toothache with led me to seek
professional help (and caused me to miss last year's picnic). I had had only
one extraction done in all my life.

I was fishing the Kern River in the Sequoia National Forest - a swift running
(gold bearing, too) clear stream in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Good eating.
But, I never fished or hunted for trophies or sport. If I caught or killed it -
into the pot. Unless it was a nuisance animal like an opossum or groundhog.
