Tooth Woes Continued

[dreiser]

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.

sorry 'bout that. but at least you got vicodine - good stuff. and on high dosages it has LSD like effects. not that I would know that from personal experience *g*
I got two of my wisdom teeth pulled out, and they had to chisel a part out of my jaw - painful does not even begin to describe it. But thank God my teeth are otherwise fine.
Enjoy your vicodine!

I'll be taking care of my teeth from now on. I plan on being all, "See! See! I did what you said!" When I return to the dentist on May 20th for my oh so fun root canal and crown placement.
