The Wisdom In Me.....not one but two!Yay!
I’m officially old….. My wisdom tooth has finally declared it’s existence by proclaiming a silent war against my sensitive gums, thus causing an infection that is hurting so much I can only chew on one side....Yes…one side, how pathetic! Already a slow eater, I’m much worse now! Bummed!
So I went to the dentist yesterday, after much deliberation.(I actually don’t enjoy going to the dentist much.)
She was a nice doctor, quite young, but I wished she was a lil gentler on my already tortured-enough-gums when she was checking out the damage. So she revealed to me all the blars of my wisdom tooth…my potential complication because my wisdom tooth on the left had somehow decided to stop growing and thus lay half-hidden, half embedded in my gums still and half exposed. Somehow I felt my tooth was shy about the whole expośe thing, either that, I simply don’t haf enuff wisdom for it to actually grow out of my gum! Wahahaha…lame I know…the pain is rather overwhelming at times….so..forgive me....=)
Anyway, I was told that my upper wisdom tooth will cost me $65 to extract. But for my shy wisdom tooth, it takes between 300 to 480 if there no complications, and between 480 to 600 if there are complications. But all these will have to be further determined after I take an x-ray of my mouth which will cost another 15-20 bucks. And not forgetting all the medication cost etc stuffs after all that.... So it will bring me down to about 800 bucks with worst-cased scenario situations? How sucky is that? All that time and money for 2 supposedly worthless tooth? How wise....And you call that wisdom? Will I be any less smarter if I remove it? No idea... And why do I need to pay so much more for a tooth that's shy? Make any sense?*shrugs*
When I told my mum, she exclaimed “ It’s funny but we never had such problems before. Why do people nowadays have all these problems?”
Her words struck me hard and totally agreed! Why? Why do our ancestors, our great great ancestors, be it the monkeys or dinosaurs, not have this problem? Well, at least it wasn’t a big deal to spend hundred over dollars on it? They either got it off barbarically or simply ignored the whole damn thing and still live their lives through?
And yet, in our times of living and education, with vast technology advancement, we can’t even tolerate an extra tooth?
I’m just blabbering…ignore pls!
