I'm bringing back wooden teeth to the forefronts of trendiness

I have really slacked off on caring whatsoever what items of foodery I have been putting in my mouth these days. I am completely bipolar when it comes to my eating habits. To be honest with you, I don't mind it either. It works for me. I diet on and off. But mostly off. I haven't been too particular about what I eat, other than I do try to keep a reasonable ratio of carbs and protein. Generally, I eat at least 100g of protein a day. This is because I supplement with it. I have at least one protein shake/day and sometimes two. This is out of convenience and because they provide a quick, easy and on the go meal for me. These are my favorites:
Premier Protein shakes from Costco: I like them because they are reasonably priced for a pre-made protein shake and you can get one of the highest ratios of protein to low calories that I've seen. I will acknowledge that they are probably not the cleanest shakes in terms of additives, but I choose them as a reasonably priced item that fits into a family budget.
Tera's Whey: I love this stuff. I first tried it from a sample that my friend Janetha from mealsandmovesblog.com gave me. I just really liked the taste. It was later that I found out that it was a whey protein derived from goat milk sources, which had not been a factor for me when trying it. It's just freaking good. The more I read about the company, the more I liked. It's organic, very clean, and comes from a small business. I like to support the small businesses when I can. It is a little pricey though and only use it as my "treat" every once in a while.
Twinlabs Isowhey Fuel: I'll be honest, my neighbor works for Twinlabs so we get a hookup on the cost. I will say that I have been very impressed with this product though. It tastes better than most powders I've tried. This is the powder I use if i'm adding protein to any sort of green smoothie, it mixes well.
I am always looking for good suggestions when it comes to protein. A large chunk of my monthly grocery budget goes to it so I like to find ones I am happy blowing my kids' lunch money on.
Other things I am blowing money on lately: dentist bills. Gahhhhhhhhhhh. Could our family collectively have worse teeth? Our entire family (of 5) got cleanings and x-rays last week. We ALWAYS have cavities (I had 7, it's shameful, I know). I am a twice a day brusher and flosser. It doesn't seem to matter.
Between a crown for both Tommy and I plus all cavities and such, we have spent over $2000 in dental bills in one month. I don't drink soda and I truly eat little sugar. It's a freaking mystery to me. The only upside is that I really get all hot and bothered when I see Tommy in a paper bib.
Oh, and PS -
