So I just came back from the dentist. Now about 15 months ago (or thats what they said) I had a root canal in the way back of my teeth on the top. So naturally, I never really looked at it. But I go in today and they start drilling out the filling to put in a tooth colored one. I was shocked I had a silver filling in my tooth! My one and only filling was silver. I didn't even know they still used that stuff! How dare they put colors in my precious beautiful mouth and teeth. Now though, it is white. Yay.
And I need all four wisdom teeth pulled within 2 years for my best interest
They spent 5 years not moving and in six months they have started growing. You can even see a dot of one!

(Cue bad teeth come back
Heavens no. We have excelent dental care
OH my dentist back home used to do the teeth of the Bulls (basketball) He's got all the rings. He rocks.
Ahem. Yeah, Metal is cooler. Metal tastes nice. It's also cool, I mean, come on! Yeah, odd they still use it, but hey, it isn't anymore so be happy. At least you don't have a fucking brace. Grr... although, at least my brace is free.
I want them out it's just I don't want the pain of having them removed!
Lets hope the pain is gone my Christmas
I hate dentists with a passion, my one is so horrible :grump:
it isn't that bad!
granted i was in such a state with mine that i would have had them out myself with a hammer and chisel if i could reach them, so even a bit of post-op pain and swelling was a huge relief. but still, it isn't bad.
if it's a simple extraction, you'll bleed a bit, feel sorry for yourself for a couple of days and then be right as rain. even if it's a horribly manked one like mine (i ended up with stitches from under my tongue, right the way up and over my right lower jawbone and halfway up the inside of my right cheek) it still is more of a faff than anything. you'll look like michael schumacher for a week and then be right as rain.
:no:
the morning after is hands down the worst. after that it's all on the up. on christmas day you'll still look like you had the shit kicked out of you, but the swelling will be starting to go down and you should be in a lot less pain.
