went to the dentist. nothing is wrong with me. my tooth is fine. no cavities. well, one small one. on a wisdom tooth, but that doesn’t even count because i’m getting those taken out over the summer. fun stuff.
my sister wasn’t so lucky. she’s getting a tooth extracted. it can’t be saved. either that, or they’re going to file down three teeth and put a bridge. she’s too young. plus seven cavities. her mouth is falling apart, but it’s similar to the concept of not judging a book by its cover. her teeth are dazzling. white. stark white. think of the whitest white you’ve ever seen and imagine somehow bleaching it beyond that point. her teeth can blind the retinas of anyone who accidentally sees her smiling outside in the sun. y’know, it’d be fatal with the reflection and all, but seriously, i feel bad for her.
my problem is that this particular tooth is near my sinuses and when those get congested, which is pretty much a constant given my environment and allergies, i get tooth pain. i may have to see someone about it eventually, but until now i’m satisfied with playing pain killer roulette and switching it up between tylenol, bayer, and ibuprofen.
whee.
