Happy VD Day!

Yeah, I know the "D" or "Day" is redundant. Sue me.



The idea for this was stolen from here.

Last bit for my teefers: I had my last two wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. They were gnarly to quote my dentist. He asked if I wanted to take them home. No, thanks. But I did want to see them. He cleaned them up and showed them to me. Yep, gnarly indeed! My roots are corkscrewed into my gums. And I look like a half-assed chipmunk today. And it's a good thing I had lots of Tylenol 3 left over. Blergh. I'm glad it's all done.

So, I have one root canal and four fillings. Is that about average for adults?

My dentist didn't mention getting a crown for my root canal. I thought they were mandatory, but I guess they aren't. And I also have a missing molar. I didn't have very good dental coverage at the time and extraction was the cheapest option. At least it was the rear-most molar - no gaps!

I don't know if that's normal or not, but OUCH!!
