Today, my great friend Tyler Page brings us a Christmas-Day Tooth Tale. Sorry you had a sucky Christmas that year, Tyler, but it made for a good comic!

And while we're here, let me send you over to Rachel Nabors' site, where she explains a necessary, expensive, long, and excruciating UPCOMING dental experience she's about to go through! Rachel doesn't have insurance, and is going to have to pay for her expenses out-of-pocket. She's a prolific, award-winning cartoonist who posts weekly to Gurl.com, and she could use your help.

And, for anybody new to SMILE, hello! Welcome to my true tales of dental misfortune! I've been running guest strips for a few weeks now, but the main story begins here!
