I live in Europe so I unfortunately cannot recommend ways to find the best dentist in the states. Dentists here choose depending on need first because a lot is covered by insurance anyway. However you should definitely see more than one dentist and ask all of them for a care plan. It's called therapy and cost plan here, there surely is something similar everywhere.
By the way, don't be scared. I have no excuse also, and thats very liberating. Distance yourself from the story in the head - for it is root of all suffering in this world. Underneath, everything is and is okay like that.
Can confirm. 23 years old, 5 years no dentist, aggressive paradontosis with 2 teeth already dead and a lot of gum recession. Can't eat apples or steaks any more. Go to your god damn dentist.
I'm sorry for not replying earlier :) Really, in theory this is very easy. You need a command and control channel, but one that is secured and not abusable. In the first years, I used a CRON job that would pull the configuration files off a load balanced domain. Now, I've upgraded to a self made encrypted P2P version which I really do not want to talk about. However, even if I were to die in a horrible accident, all systems would remain like they are in good condition. This is, like you mentioned, due to custom repositories that repond to each client uniquely. There's no magic to be found here :)

I'm responsible for my sister, my mother, 6 coworkers and 13 friends running Arch on their hardware, in various personalized configurations that took me maybe 30 minutes each. I can push out updates and flag new software for installation within seconds if they ask me for it and so far, I have not had one serious complaint. Some use Libreoffice for their private stuff, some appstream Office directly into a X window. Oh you don't like GNOME? Let me install Xfce. It's perfect if certain use cases apply. My sister has had hers for 6 years and counting, uses it for web browsing exclusively and only complains when she cant execute nickelback.mp3.exe.

I am the same way, however I would not want it to be otherwise. A "slow thinker" sounds very negative but in reality there is just more gaps between thoughts, gaps in which you are true to yourself and this moment.
A new sight or sound arises, and in the first moment of perception, there is a brief cessation in the habitual stream of thinking. Consciousness is diverted away from thought because it is required for sense perception. A very unusual sight or sound may leave you "speechless", even inside, that is to say, bring about a longer gap.
The frequency and duration of those spaces determine your ability to enjoy life, to feel an inner connectedness with other human beings as well as nature. It also determines the degree to which you are free of ego because ego implies complete unawareness of the dimension of space.
When you become conscious of these brief spaces as they happen naturally, they will lengthen, and as they do, you will experience with increasing frequency the joy of perceiving with little or no interference of thinking.
Inner space also arises whenever you let go of the need to emphasize your form-identity. That need is of the ego. It is not a true need.
I would very much recommend Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" if you want to read more and achieve freedom.
