I Hate Going to the Dentist

I always thought having cavities filled was supposed to hurt, little did I know it isn't. It's part of why I always hated dentists. Apparently natural redheads, including myself, require more anesthesia than most.
Finally made an appointment though. Hope I'll be able to keep it, my wisdom teeth are starting to bother me. I don't have to be awake for that one.

I have to say, having a few friends over in the US, they seem awfully keen on whipping out wisdom teeth on the off chance they 'might' cause trouble in the future...

I'd be surprised if anyone over there still had them, lol.

I guess that's where they make their money though 🤔

Mine are pushing my other teeth forward, I'm lucky enough to have pretty straight teeth but they're starting to be pushed out of alignment and causing pain. The pain is becoming problematic. If it wasn't for that I'd probably never have them removed. I don't know many people who still have their wisdom teeth under the age of 50 or so, it's an automatic teens and early 20s thing and most insurance pays for the entire procedure. @Quizzical

@GlitterBug Well, yes, insurance may pay for it, but that money doesn't just appear like magic, lol.

Well, it does for the dentists I guess 😁
