A few weeks ago I hit myself in the face with my car door when I had my hands full. Brilliant, huh?
So with this little accident, one of my teeth becomes a little loose. I wasn't too worried about it, and figured it would "tighten" back up, but no, it didn't. So, FINALLY today I made a dentist appointment to have it looked at.
Yeah, it's not loose-- it's BROKEN (horizontally) above the gum line. So that means it's UNFIXABLE. I have to get a dental implant to the tune of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS! (Yes, I DO mean AMERICAN dollars.) Seriously.
What I hate is that we are spending this much money and will basically have nothing new to show for it. I mean, yeah, I will have a new tooth, but big whoop. I already have one of those there so it's not like anyone else will notice. It's not like you can drive around in a new tooth. If we're going to spend 4 grand, I feel like we should be able to pick what we spend it on. Grrrr.
Apparently I picked the wrong profession. Who knew I wouldn't make the big bucks as a stay-at-home mom??? The big money is in dentistry.
