Your parents were fishermen? Mine too. I grew up in Cordova, AK and fished until I was 20 and realized that I was not tough enough to do it year round. Winter fishing fucking broke me.
Anyway, I feel ya. I lucked out on my teeth but I didn't see a dentist for 15 years and when I did I had a dead tooth and some root canals to be done.
Both my mother and father were deep into the fishing business so a lot of my time as a kid was spent on their boat. It absolutely destroyed both of their bodies and their backs due to the daily rigors, so I have immense respect for those people that are able to do so and survive.
