Just be sure to keep brushing well!

I sure hope so.

Ha ha ha, this cracked me up

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist. "I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want Novacaine because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way." The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?" The woman turned to her husband and said, "Show him your tooth, dear."

How about a bridge? Yeah, it's not the same, but it's better than a 26/32 smile, or whatever.

A toothless smile is not as purdy as a full grin smile, even if it's "fake". Trust me, I know!

Get a fake tooth.

Luckily I was born and raised with a nearly perfect straight set of teeth.

ugh you gotta hate braces -.-

Get a fake tooth.

yeah, I'm definitely leaning towards that idea

This is my mouth in the near future

The future looks pretty grim

You gotta get the front one removed? that stinks i got ones in the back removed, less noticeable

yep

is this what it feels like to be betrothed to someone very unappealing? an inevitable future that you have no control over? sorta like dying? or eating brussel sprouts?

i feel...

emptiness

Well, at least you don't have to worry about the Tooth Fairy. She died last Hogswatch during that break-in perpetrated by Teatime. Really, who breaks into the Tooth Fairy's castle, anyway? Pfft...

o.o

.....

I walked across the cracked pavement to the slightly ajar door of the dentist. I hesitated for moment on the precipice of the edifice. I reached for the door handle, hand trembling. Is this how it would all end? There was a slight creak as I pulled back the screen door.

Another door stood behind it.

So this it how it would end. I turned the rustic knob of the door entering a drab, cold room. I sat in the plushiness of a waiting chair, while I waited. I tossed my pack to the hard, wooden floor. I had come for my appointment.

The appointment.

As I sat there flipping through a magazine provided for other ill-fated people like me, a chill ran through the air as the door was opened. I heard my name called harshly, like I was the next cow to be slaughtered. I stood up and walked to the door, trying to look strong for my other comrades in wait.

The door shut behind me with a snap.

The lady I was following seemed to be all business and no nonsense. She had this aurora enshrouding her, an evil aurora. At the farthest end of the hall we turned into the room where all my fears would converge. She snapped at me to sit. So I sat.

Then it became worse.

"Now, do you know what you're here for today?" she inquired. I sat there, too stunned to reply. Of course I did! Why didn't she? I nodded.
"Uuum, why are you here then?"
I stared google-eyed at her. To get my freakin' tooth pulled, lady!
"You're supposed to pull my tooth out."
She seemed confused for a moment.
"Top or bottom?"
Does it matter?
"Bottom"
She stood up and shuffled some things about, and then she strolled out of the room.

I sat there.

The Food channel flashed in front of me on the television screen for what seemed like hours. A lady walked into the bathroom on my left. I looked back at the screen. The Emeril LIVE Show shone like the sun into my face. Next was Guy Off the Hook with Guy Fieri. My face was melting.

Finally, the dentist came in.

Like the orthoman, this dentist was bumbling about, not really sure what was happening. I informed him that my tooth needed to be pulled out. So he opened my mouth and groaned.

"I can't pull your tooth out with this wire in the way," he told me.

Then the lady that brought me into the room pulled out a freakin' consent form.
"Is your mother or father around?" she asked innocently.
Shoot, my dad left after he had dropped me off.

And that pretty much explains the next half hour. Me, sitting in the chair, and the lady trying to find my dad. I looked back at the television, it was showing something about Ultimate Grilled Chicken or something like that. I was pretty worn out.

Finally, something amazing happened.

A new lady walked into the room wearing a white coat. She asked me about the wire the dentist had talked about. I told her the dentist could not proceed until the wire was out. She grabbed some metal tool and took off my bands and then took out the wire. Pretty smoothly too I might add. She was an angel from heaven.

Then, when she asked me whether I was okay, she left.

And I cried.

A woman exited the bathroom to my left.

My dad walked into the room, signed the consent form and left.

The dentist came in, and started rubbing some pink stuff in my mouth. Then he grabbed a freakin' hypodermic needle or something and started poking that in there. Finally he left me again, telling me, "I'll be back in five minutes."

Twenty minutes later, he came back. He grabbed the needle and started poking again.

Then, out came the pliers.

To make a long story shorter, he pulled my tooth out. My guardian angel came back into the room and put my wire and bands back in. She told me pretty much everything I needed to do after this. (The dentist hadn't.) Turns out she used to work for an orthodontist. She changed my gauze and sent me on my way.

So here I am, typing this with an aching mouth full of freakin' blood. Oh, and one tooth short. I really didn't want to take a picture so as not to scare the little ones.

More to come.

Your life sounds like a horror movie poog. I remember when I got teeth pulled, my mouth was bleeding all day and I had to keep cotton balls in my mouth, it sucked...

YES! I felt like the bleeding would never end!

Unfortunately, I had my tooth pulled right before supper. I was too afraid to eat anything thinking the area where my tooth had been would get hurt or something.

Buuuuut... there's something about that pain-numbing stuff they put in your mouth that makes me feel gooooooood...

You could just say, "no thanks." Orthodontists and dentists will always try to get you to let them do a lot of shit that will cost a lot of money. They make it sound like there is no other option but there always is. At the very least, just ask what other options there are.

Oh wait, you already had it done. Sucks that you aren't more assertive and don't ask questions.
