#thanks I know you all come to this liveblog to hear my dental woes

Funny story: So when I was young, I lost a back tooth doing the sort of utterly unlicensed and not really needing one MMA that paid cash at the end of the night. It got damaged badly and I just had it pulled. Listen, I was going through a lot at that age. Anyhow, it's in the back of my mouth and I never really thought about it.

Fast forward to me having 4 hours of work done, last week. Gal tells me after all that, "Oh you're gonna need an implant" As far as I'm concerned it's been settled law, so my response is, 'Naw, it's all the way in the back and doesn't bother me, it's been gone 15 years now, fuck it." BUT AHOY AHOY, turns out teeth get a bit grumpy when they don't have anything to press on, and the lack of a bottom tooth is making my top tooth come down. Fuck me runnin'. Really wish I'd been told this 15 years ago, I would have saved to have an implant put in, but everyone acted like it was all a cosmetic thing and my teeth are crooked anyhow, I'm not winning beauty awards.

I ask for the cost. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. lololololol are you out of your fucking mind?

All this to say that I've been heavily researching getting it done in Mexico, and with a flight to los cabos, and a few days stay in a mediocre all inclusive, it is STILL cheaper than that, and, AND, I get to sit on the beach for two days. AND that's with me selecting an expensive ass zirconium implant (I will likely cheap out and get the titanium, you can't see it anyhow) YES I WOULD GO TO INDIA FOR TEETH IF I WERE BRITISH.
