David After Dentist

This is one of my favorite youtube videos of all time.  This little boy just got back from the dentist...

I HATE teeth!

...seriously!  Why do we need them?!  I mean, hasn't modern technology thought of a better way yet?!  We can send people to the moon, talk face-to-face with people in Tokyo, and travel by plane, but we can't live without teeth?! 

Well, I thought I could.  In fact, when my dentist told me I needed my root canal "redone," my first response was "just pull the damn thing!"  ...and then he told me that if he did, he would have to drill a titanium screw into my jaw to replace the gap that would be left.  So...I waited...and waited...about 5 years...then it got infected...and I waited a little longer...

Then, last Monday (6+ years later), I FINALLY got it done.  I was really proud of myself.  I have an insane fear of dentists.  I was injured by one when I was about 12, and since then, I have been a big wuss!

Do you honestly blame me?!  Who wouldn't be afraid of this?! 

...right?!  Is it crazy that I am afraid of this?!  Cuz apparently, my Endodontist thought I was unnecessarily stressed out...I guess most people don't turn white, shake uncontrollably and grip the dental seat.  Humm...

Well...anyway...now I am currently on antibiotics to kill the infection, then I will get my crown on Monday.  And to think...all of this fun will ONLY cost me $2,000!  What a DEAL!!!(NOT!)

...and, we're back!

Happy New Year!  I am back, and have decided that one of my many resolutions is to keep up on my blog.  So...here goes nothing!  Stay tuned...
