I went to the dentist yesterday and it went as expected. Gums are still sore and occasionally bleeding.

drat you all for making me think of the dentist! In the past month, I have had: A root canal on a front tooth A crown on an upper back left tooth A full extraction on an upper right (this was the worst). There was a week there where I was unsure what to eat. I stuck with smoothies/yogurt and tofu. The amazing thing about this is I really didn't have any issues I thought were serious. And yet, there I was, in that chair sooooo much. Done for now though! There's an implant way on the horizon, but that's months away.

They looked at my tooth and were like "yep, that's decayed/broken and you'll have to come back and get it fixed" and the soonest appointment is MAY 20TH  Then I came home and tried to eat a quick breakfast before work and the tooth immediately crumbled some more while I was eating soft food. I hate everything

I lost my front tooth years ago biting into an ice cream sandwich at the zoo. Made me real sad. I bet you could get that date moved up if you tell them what happened and how impactful this is.

That sounds really awful  My tooth doesn't hurt (yet?) but it's gross and distracting and I worry that it will break more in a month. I asked them to put me on their emergency call list, the office is literally around the corner from my house so I can be there in two minutes as long as I'm not already at work. I wish I could go back in time and convince my younger self that dental care is literally one of the most important things in your entire life. Wish I'd done better

As soon as he looked in his mouth his expression changed to one of horrified concern and he said "Or, y'know, maybe we should just pull it now." And he took it out then and there. Turns out the thing was infected, possibly into the jawbone and he didn't want to delay treatment. He then prescribed me one and half times the max dose of Tylenol or something. It was great to have a few days of zero muscle soreness, but when I stopped it caught up with me and that sucked. Anyways, I have a shiny gold implant now.

I was legit shocked to learn tooth infections can kill you. One of the cool side characters on the show "Angel" died shortly after the show ended from a tooth infection that went to his brain. Young guy. I had no idea. Which makes this whole "Dental care is different than health care" thing we have in America even more absurd.

That's why I got the full extraction a couple of weeks ago.I had no pain or issues, but the dentist told me it was a good risk of getting infected, and I was like OK then, let's do it.

Apparently it used to be a thing to get all your teeth removed and replaced because treatment options were so limited that bad teeth were inevitable.

Lol I made a promise I'd keep more teeth than my grandpa who had the same enamel-weakening disorder that I have did. He had full dentures by 42, his uppers were done in his early or mid 30s. Just all removed, given dentures. loving wild.

National full medical/dental/vision is a huge part of the reasons I don't think I'll ever move back to the US. The system has its issues and all, no system is perfect, but it's all mostly covered unless I get cancer or something.

Threw on some Pylon while kegging. It's been a second. I still remember that a stripper in Portland introduced me to their music during her set. Lol. They're really good.

One time the lady at the cheese counter gave me a free wheel of brie because she was like "I have to get rid of all this cheese by 6pm!" Or something. I don't know the reason. All I know is I was riding high on my free wheel of brie for like two days afterward. This guy gets it. Never let the haters stop you from achieving your cheese-related dreams.
