I know this because I was on an anti-depressant for 2 years and ended up with 12K in dental bills, I should have sued my doctor because while he did warn me about dry mouth he never said anything about damage it could cause, that is was just an annoying side effect.

That is interesting! That must've sucked big time and was probably painful, the entire experience I mean. Well, if that was Bobbi Kristina's issue I still wonder why someone didn't step in and go, 'Girlfriend we gotta fix your grill'. There was more than enough money, BK couldn't spend it fast enough.
Bless her heart (I know that can be a negative phrase in the South but I actually mean it for real).
