Warning, this was written while the meds where strong, expect loopyness!
So last week, I had a tooth break, about 30% tooth, the rest was the filling. So I call my dentist to make an appointment to get it fixed, thinking it was nothing major.
I might of well said "How hard can it be?" in Clarksons' voice.
After getting in, the dentist has a poke around, does some x-rays and is shocked to discover instead of the 30% of the tooth that was missing, it was more like 70%.
Apparently on my last trip, the other dentist that worked there failed to notice the cavity creeping up under the tooth like some guerrillas commando, wreaking everything it found.
So 3 options where presented to me.
1: Add a filling, but that might fall out in a week or so.
2: root cannale and crowning, with the shiny price tag of $2,000 (As a student who is also unemployed, that would take a year to pay off.)
3: Rip it out for only $100
So I let them take it out.
This was highly unnerving as I saw a bunch of pliers that would of looked more at home in SAW get passed around before the dentist reaches in, gets a good grip and pulls.
CRACK!
Now, I have only heard a crack like this once before, while in Highschool PE, some idiot fell over some equipment and broke his arm. The sound of a bone breaking is a nasty one that will linger with you.
So I tried not to swollow my tounge in shock as that very noise eminates from my MOUTH!
Apparently the tooth was so far gone, the dentist had to take it out in little itty bitty chunks. yay.
But now we get to the fun part of the story. When this is all over and I pay the dentist, I have to walk home....
It took half an hour to walk into town... the return trip some how took an hour... I am not sure how that works, but I'm as high as a kite right now.
And that was DS's start to the Week!
