It seems that avoiding the dentist for over fifteen years (even if only subconsciously) can have its drawbacks.
$595.00 later and I have three fillings, a couple x-rays and a referral to have a couple wisdom teeth pulled.
How a tooth becomes so directionally challenged in the first place defies me.
The dentist also told me to cut back on the sweets and soft drinks. Naturally (and quite understandably), John found this advice rather hilarious.
As mentioned in another communicative form, I have an almost matching small x-ray (not the panoramic one). I asked my dad about it and discovered that he had one of these ridiculous teeth on either side, and had them – literally – chiseled out. With a chisel. Literally. Thank god for technology, is all I say.
That’s totally insane and sufficiently scary. 😛
