One less tooth

I went under the knife on Wednesday and lost tooth # 18. I found out it was cracked back in December. I'd had major problems with infection and swelling in October and had taken antibiotics to get rid of the infection. I was getting married in February and wasn't exactly rolling in lots of money. (Not that I am now, but...well, I'm in a better position to afford it.)

I wasn't put under when I had my wisdom teeth pulled because they were pulled by a general dentist, not an oral surgeon. I made sure I didn't repeat that mistake! It was a much better experience. Normally, when it comes to teeth problems, I wind up with at least 3-4 shots per tooth as the dentist tries in vain to numb me. Yeah, not fun.

So, now I'm one less tooth and, within the next few months, I guess I'll be adding some titanium to my jaw. I can't wait!
