my trip to the dentist

My trip was an enjoyable one ;) I have no cavities. yay! but I have a wisdom tooth coming in and one that's pretty far up there but needs to be taken out b/c it's coming in at an angle and could possible mess up the beautimus of my otherwise perfect straight teeth. I didn't spend years being teased and in pain with all the retainers and braces for nothing!

Plus it seems I have a deviated septum. I swear my dentist is like my general doctor. He asked if I have trouble breathing through my nose, well I guess since I pretty much breathe through my mouth (always thinking that's how most people breathe). So he thinks I should see an ENT guy to check it out. I get to get a nose job and use the excuse of having a deviated septum - just like all the hollywood stars!!
Actually I think my words were "can I die from this?" *I said tongue in cheek* and he said "nah" and I said "ok then we shall not worry about this"

I really enjoy for some strange reason looking at my x-rays. I just think they're pretty nifty. I think I should go to school to be an x-ray reader!

do you like to go to the dentist?

Oh, I love looking at x-rays too. I think it's the novelty of being able to see stuff I don't normally get to see. I would LOVE to get an MRI and see all sorts of cool things in my innards.

I just had oral surgery, including my last wisdom tooth extracted. I was brave and remained awake : ) Yes, I am a baby. Other than that, I think if my dentist wasnt so cute I wouldnt even go (kidding) Yeah, I think Xrays are fun to read but they have to be someone elses.

Hope your doing well~~Take care!

I enjoy x-rays too. That was my favorite thing about working for the dentist, was x-rays. Even now, when we go to the dentist, I always wannna look at them. It's fascinating to me.

Glad that your trip was a good one in terms of visits to the dentist.

*hugs*
