  1. I like chocolate waffles. When I was a kid, I would even sneak some waffles to my bedroom and eat before I sleep. That's the reason I got so many cavities because I don't brush my teeth. My mom brought me to the Fishers dentists and from that point on, I was taught to always brush my teeth after eating sweets.
