My tooth hurts like a bitch and to any of you reading this (very few I imagine) I will describe it.
So a few years ago, I wasn't very dilligent at brushing my teeth (naive and stupid, I know now). One day, my back-top-right molar's inside fell out and fell onto the ground. w00t not good alert!
Predictably, a cavity formed (a bad one too), and the next time I went to the dentist (approx. two years later), my dentist put a filling in and told me I might have to have a root canal if the infection had spread too far up my nerve ending and that I would have to get a full head x-ray, in the process checking to see if my wisdom teeth needed to come out. Sweet.
So I got the scan in September (2008), and they figured I might as well get my wisdom teeth out now instead of later on when they'd be painful. My dad and I both are notorious slackers apparently, because neither of us has made any appointments to get them taken out as of yet (personally, I have a good reason; I'm scared of how much it will hurt also, when I go to get them taken out I want to be out cold with anesthesia, I don't want to see them drilling my face off).
Now my tooth has been jabbing me with pain non-stop for the past 8 hours, and it hurts to do anything with my mouth! Except sing, which I am rather glad. Also, the bad molar has been falling apart for a while now and I think parts of it are just going to fall out one day.
Anyways, it hurts. Call me a wimp if you want, it's probably true, I don't go on roller coasters. However, the moral of this story is that teeth are little bitches and human genes should be altered so that babies produce non-bio-degradable synthetic plastic teeth so that we never have to get cavities, or braces, or root canals, or bridges, or any other dental procedure that you can think of. Of course, this means the elimination of dentists in our present world. Well, good riddance, I don't have to pay dental insurance and neither does my employer.
