so i had a dentist appointment today.
cause my stupid wisdom tooth is coming in all wacky and hurts like unbelievable.
and i should have known how this would turn out, but i was really hoping for the best.
it OBVIOUSLY needs to be removed.
and the dentist (cause he wants more money) says i should have the other three taken out too. "because they're going to do the same thing". uhm, no, actually. my two top teeth are coming in just fine. i have no pain, nothing. the other bottom one, sure, okay. i can see on the x-ray that it intends to cause the same problems as the right one. but i am NOT gonna rip out two perfectly good teeth just cause they may (sometime in the way, way, way distant future) "bother me". not even that they're gonna cause an infection or come in wrong, just that my mouth may not like the presence of two new teeth. I LIKE MY TWO NEW TEETH, DAMMIT. i'm keeping them.
so i called an oral surgeon. okay, i called four oral surgeons. and i'm going with the one who promised to make me as close to unconscious as possible without using general anesthesia. works for me!
i'm so nervous. i've never even had a cavity before! :(
ugh. i have to work.
stupid teeth.
