Ow, motherfucker, Ow.

I went to the dentist a couple weeks ago.

Because I chipped one of my front teeth.

By just chewing on a hangnail.

Yeah, ok.

Not a big fan of my teeth anyway.

So I went to the dentist.

They were nice.

Gave me flouride.

That wasn't covered by insurance. (Bastards)

And I have three cavities and insurance only pays for the ones that are sick and silver/gray looking and for cosmetic reasons only, my dentist uses the "tooth colored" fillings. (Bastards)

So I have to pay $212 for 3 fillings. (Bastards x's 2)

I've never had any cavities before in my life, so you know fine, I'll take my cavity adventure now, at age 22. Whatever.

Then comes the best fucking part.

I've been told by 3 dentists after x-rays and all that my wisdom teeth are fine.

Yeah, so now they're not. Apparently I have to get them out "soon". Because they're impacted. Since I WebMD everything, I now know that means "stuck under the surface" or something equivalent to that.

My insurance budget starts over in January. Since I just got insurance in September, I have a big budget since it's for the year.

So that means I should probably get my wisdom teeth out (all 4 of them because I rock) before January 1st.

So I'm asking everyone who reads this....if you've gotten your wisdom teeth pulled, cut out, whatever, just leave me a nice little note explaining about how much pain I'm going to be in. Even if you've never gotten your teeth out firsthand, stories about people you know who died while in the chair or whatever are welcome too.

I've heard you get drugs. I've heard it's hella painful. I'm not down for the pain. I'm sort of a huge wimp. I'm down for the drugs, though. Especially the ones in pill form that rhyme with Like-a-Gin.

And my wisdom teeth are trying to come up on the left side on the bottom, thus pushing my teeth forward and making them criss-cross. It's so sick. Glad I had braces for 4 years to prevent that.
