... the fuck you mean you've had too many teeth broski.

OH well when I was like eight I had an extra tooth that was trying to grow upwards, like, into my nose, so they had to go in and surgically remove that one. smh. it fucked up all my other teeth somehow so then i got braces immediately after. i have really good mouth genetics actually.

#unfort i was EIGHT YEARS OLD #and therefore not capable of taking care of braces #so then they removed them #and then when i was like twelve i had another oral surgery #to remove that flap of skin like? under your lip #just below your nose and above your front teeth?#the place where you get a smiley piercing #yeah i dont have that they cut it out #and then immediately after THAT surgery i got braces again #and then when i was fourteen i had to get a root canal #coz ig my teeth have pits in the backs of them?#which makes it easy for bacteria to crawl up in them? or smth #anyway i had an abscess and a massive infection #was in horrible pain had a fever etc etc and we went to the dr and he said go to the dentist so we went to the dentist #and the DENTIST said i was just being DRAMATIC abt my braces and to ignore it #and then i happened to see my orthodontist like a week later and he was like #yah uh the color on that tooth is weird i wanna xray it #OH YEAH ACTUALLY THERES A HORRIBLE INFECTION. were referring you to an oral surgeron #and then i went to the oral surgeon for the consult and she said mmmm actually im like?#super dupes worried that the infection is gonna move into ur brain and kill u like. literally any minute now so uhhhhh can we do the surger #like #RIGHT NOW??? ill cancel all my other appts #so we did #but then the infection was so bad that it came back so a week later we did a second surgery #but this time they went in thru an incision in my gums to like. scrub out all the infection i guess #and it had eaten away a part of my jaw so i got a BONE GRAFT #and like sixteen stitches #but now its okay :)#i have a gum scar #anyway now my wisdom teeth are doing things lol
