Boy went in for a teeth cleaning. Believe it or not, he has been begging for this. I think he secretly thinks the dentist will suggest he get braces. He has "almost" perfectly straight teeth....all except for the bottom ones. If he has his way, I guess I'll be soon hunting for an orthodontist.
Good news! No cavities. Perfectly healthy teeth. Bad news, his bottom wisdom teeth are coming in- crooked and the Doc strongly suggests they come out NOW before they get into the root or tangled into something or other...stopped listening at the "oral surgery now" part. Poor Boy- all he wanted was braces and now he gets the whole oral surgery thing. I look back fondly at my (17th?) birthday pictures where I'm looking more like a squirrel hiding nuts in her mouth. All four of my wisdom teeth came out...ahem right before my birthday and well, you can guess.... really puffy cheeks. Eldest Daughter (Career Girl) recently had her wisdom teeth removed. She came through like a champ. I wasn't there, but that's what I hear. So Boy comes from a long line of "get thee out of my mouth wisdom!" I just wish more pearls of wisdom flowed from my mouth before those teeth came out. Now, I'm just duhhhh.
Speaking of teeth and "well duh," I KNOW I have a cavity and the crown that was just sealed into my chops is giving me fits also. As long as cold things do not come into contact with my tooth, I'm fine. Of course here in Rural USA we are experiencing the first fruits of fall- 50*/ 60* so as long as I breathe like I'm drinking from a straw (get the picture?), I'm fine. Graini-Mom says her crown is bothering her too. It must be that time of the season where everyone in my strawberry patch life needs dental work. Personally I think it is a conspiracy! LOL All of the teeth associated with my family DNA is revolting. Or someone has a voodoo doll and is really sticking it to my mouth. Was it something I said?
Hope you have a healthy mouth Tuesday, Grainiacs. Don't forget to floss.
