Teeth

I finally went to the dentist awhile back and they wanted an arm and a leg for fixing a tooth, you know root canal and crown and etc. Well I told them I didn't have that kind of money so they sent me to a specialist.

I could get the tooth pulled for a lot less money. Sooooo Feb 27th Dad took me to Dr Z and he put me out, because I'm such a chicken, and pulled the tooth. He did such a good job that when Dad drove us home I wasn't even scared. I can't even remember the drive home.

Yesterday I went back to Dr Z and the hole is doing great. So I actually started chewing on that side, which is good because I can't chew on the left side because of not enough lower teeth. I was tired of worrying my food. Now I can chew and swallow and it won't take an hour to eat one scrambled egg. I didn't lose any weight darn it.

I HATE teeth. Why didn't God give us something to chew with that were stronger and lasted longer??? They should be indestructable don't you think?

Ha! Ha! you have to be drugged in order to feel safe with dad driving! Now we know the secret!!!

Glad you can eat easier. I agree with Tina, teeth should be stronger so we don't have to deal with dentists. I about hyperventilate at the dentist office. The smells and sounds just drive me nuts :(
