What A Tooth Ache
September 13, 2006
Yesterday I went to the dentist. I thought they would fix my tooth ache by filling the cavity I knew I had. However, the cavtiy was so bad that there was pretty much just a shell of a tooth left. So they pulled it. Luckily, it’s in the back of my mouth, but I still feel unbalanced.
It’s rather funny actually, I’ve always been iffy about dentists. I perfer surgeons to dentists for some odd reason, and I bet I can thank our old dentist for my iffiness on their kind. She was a real bitch, and always talked about us as if we weren’t in the room. She did it to my mom too. Saying things like “Look at these cavitys, don’t they know what a tooth brush is for?” in response to pretty much all of us. Plus there was one incident when she was working on my mouth that she was talking about the really cool bongs she saw at a store and how she wanted to get high. I don’t know about you, but hearing my dentists confession of wanting to get high while they’re working on my mouth isn’t a pleasent thing to think about.
So in any case, I was extremely angry when the new dentist gave my mom and I the options for my too far gone tooth. My mom was all for getting it pulled, but I had never had a tooth pulled before…or at least that I can remember. He numbed my mouth to do it, and it felt really weird. The tooth was just a shell and even caved when he tried to pull it out, it was the grossest sound ever. I hate teeth.
My mouth is still bleeding, even today. And I took two of the pills he subscribed and now I’m feeling really weird. Light headed, loopy, whatever you want to call it. I think I perfer the pain over the loopiness, and I think I won’t take any more unless its just Advil or something.
I’m hoping my mouth is feeling better after school, because Nifty is picking me and maybe Robyn up to go to his house to watch his band practise and hang out. Good thing too, cause I need a hug and no one gives hugs like Nifty. Hehe, Nifty Hugs!
