I like teeth. Not in a creepy "hey teeth ;)" kind of way, but that's what I look at when I talk to people. If I look at their eyes I will completely zone out, so I have to watch their mouth, meaning that I stare at teeth a whole lot. So I'm cool with teeth. Just not mine.
I had braces for four years and during that time (my entire HS career) I broke 28 brackets. Guess how many teeth you have? 28. I broke them with gum, lollypops, granola bars, half frozen pizza bites, skittles, pillows, fingernails, water bottles, walking sticks, and some of them just broke cuze I was breathing too hard. One time my orthodontist, an incredibly nice man, got right in my face yelling at me telling me that I just didn't care. After he was done with me he changed his policy on how many free brackets he will give patients.
I got my wisdom teeth out a couple months ago. Actually my wisdom teeth wasn't as big of an ordeal as it is for other people. I told the technician 'thank you' while I was under and he told my Mom that I was a nice guy.
My Dad decided to take us off dental insurance and so I went to the dentist on Dec 28 just because it was free because we were on insurance. I had 8 cavities. We went back on insurance. It took two separate appointments to fill them all, yesterday and today. I went in and she told me to tell her if the numbing shot worked very well because she remembered that my Mom was pretty resistant to the numbing stuff. So after one I told her that I could still feel everything and the only difference was that my tongue was just a little tingly. So she gave me another shot. And then another. She started drilling and it still hurt. So she gave me another shot and then another one in five places. So I ended up getting 9 shots. And it still hurt a little.
This is a war that I'm going to win. Even if I have to fight it tooth and nail.
Landon and I are laughing so hard he's wheezing...and he doesn't wheeze from laughing much anymore. Poor Daddy having to go back on insurance!
