a tooth for a tooth

[writefiction]

My mom called about an hour ago to let me know I have an appointment with Dr Levi today @ 3:00pm. But we have to get there by 2:45pm to fill out paper work. So I need to, like, eat a sandwich and get in the shower ASAP. I'm not looking forward to this. But at least all they're going to do today is take an x-ray. And if I need a root-canal they'll schedule it for Thursday or Friday of next week. Way to spend the last days of vacation. I guess this means we're probably not going to the zoo to see the flock of flamingos. But at least we're still going to be able to go to Six Gun City and Clark's Trained Bears (also known as Clark's Trading Post)

Well, I am off to eat a fluffernutter and then shower.
Wish me luck.

how did it go? teeth suck!

i've had my fair share of tooth aches, root canals, crowns and even removals. i just have really bad teeth and it's not even my fault. GAH! my dentist was like, i'm sorry. you just have bad luck. haha. thanksverymuch.

i'm supposed to get almost all of my back teeth fixed before i move to new zealand on february 1st but i don't know. i don't wanna spend like 5000 $. *sighs*

i still hope that this absess of yours is not that bad or something. :/ spending money on that shit sucks so hard.

Well, first of all, they called and told us to come in early. Thank god I was pretty much ready. All I needed to do was brush my teeth. But then after having to fill out paper work, we only actually saw the Dr 5 minutes early.

But I am in deed getting a root-canal next Thursday. Apparently the nerve and everything inside my tooth is dead, hence the reason why there is no pain. -Which is nice.

And I know what you mean. I have a dry mouth b/c of some of my medications, so my teeth get cavities easier. Plus, I drink too much soda. Even diet soda is bad even tho there's no sugar b/c soda is basically just acid. I also have to wear a nightguard when I sleep b/c I clench and grind my teeth; which is another reason teeth break down easily.

Luckily, this root-canal is going to be 100% easier than the last. And it's going to cost a bit less which is always a plus. But yeah, teeth suck.

Thanks for your concern. It means a lot. =)
