Tooth Hurts
Visited the dentist today. Finally.
After, er, 2 years.
And amazingly, no cavities! I was actually expecting at least one.
I learnt something new today - Fillings don't last forever. They generally K.O after about 10 years or so.
So, my filling in my right molar has died and I need to do something about it since leaving it alone will result in the eventual loss of my tooth.
Meaning, I need to spend more money and swap the nearly dead filling for a new one which will set me back by about $100+++. The whole swap-old-filling-for-new-one process will take approximately 1 hour.
Sigh. And I need to pull out my final wisdom tooth as well.
I wonder if I will develop lockjaw.
I am so not looking forward to it.
