Tooth Woes

So I just get back, after waiting an hour, to see my hot lady dentist who is super funny. Turns out my tooth either needs to have a root canal and a crown placed on it or it can be removed. The first option costs around 800 dollars and the second costs around 200. Seeing as my 90 days aren't up yet and I do not have dental coverage from my work I'll be going with the second choice. I'm at my parents house because they live down the street from my dentist and I have another appointment today, at 12:10 pm to get my teeth cleaned. At first I thought maybe do the expensive work but as I walked out I mentioned to the dental assistant I know I should care for my teeth but I never do what I should and I know I'll be back. She told me to just stop going to the dentist and not do any work then.

First time I actually said that to anyone there and her reaction was sort of a wake up for me. I know I won't take great care of my teeth but I'll do my best to do what they say from now on and at least brush when I wake up and before I go to bed. Or at least do ONE of those two from now on. In the meantime, because of my attitude and how I know it will not change greatly I'm just going to have the tooth pulled. It's a back tooth, like the second to the last one on my right side and I don't think anyone is going to notice it's gone. I talked to my mom and she apparently has her third to the last tooth gone on the bottom left side and I never fucking noticed. So everything should be cool in the whole will this make Nic look even more unattractive angle.

Man, I hate the dentist but dude I will be spending tons of time with them for awhile now. Bahhhhh. See, people? Nothing in life is all happiness and rainbows. You have to have the fucking rain. At least in my life you do. Man, I'm tired and delirious and dude... dental surgery. But my doctor IS giving me Vicodin. She advised not chewing gum while on Vicodin though. Smartass. See why I love her?

Tooth Woes Continued

I can't pull my tooth because if I pull it I end up having the other back tooth like... falling or just slipping sideways entirely and then it will also have to be pulled. Thus I must have a root canal and a crown placed on my tooth WITHOUT dental insurance. This will lead to a total of 815 dollars being spent but oh joy, I can have it split up over three easy payment plans. I also happen to have not one, not two, not three, but NINE cavities! Bwahahaha. Those can wait until I'm covered by my insurance. My god though. Nine cavities. I truly suck so much ass. I hate myself, honestly I do.

When I did have my semi-rant about how I know I should take care of my teeth but I don't then my dentist's assistant went off on me and said why go to the dentist at all since I would be spending more than a thousand dollars to fix all these issues. I actually had that weird guilt trip almost tearing up moment during her rant and it fucking sunk in and I bought all the shit they told me to. The ACT mouthwash with flouride to help my teeth from chipping, the new Aquafresh toothpaste with flouride again, and Sonic Care electric toothbrush because I'm a lazy fuck. I also got toothpick flossers and some travel toothbrush/toothpaste for work. That's right. I've been lectured enough and seen this huge ass bill that I'm attempting to change my ways.

And considering how much I hate the dentist and dental care and just anything involving my teeth that's a miracle. Also my dentist freaked me out by saying if I keep this stuff up in ten years I could be wearing dentures or something to that likeness. Dude. Brrrr... anyway. My tooth really fucking hurts and it's right about that time which I can take my Vicodin and thus I will take it and watch King Of The Hill dvds. Then once I'm feeling less pain filled I'll start work on Part 4 of All The White Horses.

But seriously? Suck ass. Thousands of dollars of dental work sucks ass. Especially since only myself is to blame.

Dude...

Vicodin makes you feel so fucking trippy. Seriously. Fucking trippy.
