root canal #3
I'd been having problems with my tooth off and on for a couple months now. But It wasn't bothering me much and I didn't have insurance so I guess i didn't feel it was urgent. Then on Easter my aunt bought me some big red gum, since I don't eat candy and I love cinnamon it seemed the perfect Easter basket treat. I chewed A LOT of gum... and I rarely even chew gum, but while I was chewing I noticed the flavor of the gum started to taste like a cavity... like decaying rotting tooth. I didn't think much of it. The next day I woke up with a fair amount of tooth pain. Since then, my tooth has been bugging me off and on at what seems complete random. One moment my tooth feels as normal as ever, next moment there's a little irritation there and next is excruciating pain and this cycle repeats at odd intervals. Then when I went to make my appointment the dentist's office said I wasn't covered. Which was annoying seeing as that we had done phone battling with the insurance company for what seems MONTHS by now and thought we had that issue all resolved. So after a couple hours more on the phone with the insurance company they assured me I was covered for my visit. Then when I arrived at the dentist's office for my appointment they told me that I was still not covered... more arguing with the insurance company. Turns out they're bigger incompetent idiots than I could have ever imagined... So finally today I got to see an actual dentist. I needed to, I was starting to feel so physically ill. I am kinda glad I let my cavities get so bad because they couldn't do anything but a root canal (i love root canals) that means I don't have to deal with that tooth ever again (most likely) unlike those shitty fillings that crack and bust and fall out and only cause more headaches! The dentist was new. He was really nice and considerate. It seemed like his main concern was my comfort. He kept asking if I felt ok... He was a redhead and lucky for him he didn't have brown eyes (My best friend and I decided we just hate red heads with brown eyes--- ugh so creepy looking) and I like him, as of now. Of course the other dentist used to always compliment what beautiful teeth I have ^^ (and then proceed to say what a shame it is that I don't take better care of them, asshole >_<;;;). I thought about getting a gold crown but after checking the location in my mouth opted out, way too close to the front. My Chinese friend told me he thought my gold tooth was beautiful and that I should get more <3 if Chinese boys can love my gold tooth... then hopefully one day I will have more.
Now that my feeling is back and I no longer look like a stroke victim when i try to use a straw or pucker up I feel worlds better! What a relief. I hope I remain pain free for my trip.
When I got home i had a package waiting at the door from my best friend. She got me the most perfect gift and the most perfect timing!.
