Background information: I have an extra tooth/calcium deposit in my gums. I’ve had 2 small ones before which I’ve had surgically removed 5 or so years ago leaving my face disfigured. Yes, the surgery is why I look like this. Anyways, this one which was noticed 5 years ago in an x-ray, was kinda of forgotten about (sorry Harvey!) until this year, when I went to see the dentist after not having seen one in…like, 4 years -_-; Yeah yeah, whatever, I saw one…. Z and I named this tooth Harvey, after Harvey Dent, the Batman villain. But Dent is french for tooth so it’s a play on words. Z thought of that and I give her kudos. But! I thought of “Winnie”…which is equally as creative and awesome. But I’ll have to explain who “Winnie” is another time…
So anyways…
I went to an oral surgeon earlier this week. The 15 minute meeting consisted of an x-ray and cost $217 :S So expensive, I think I would rather have spent the money on a prostitute instead, it’d probably cheaper (y’know, for a bad one, riddled with disease)….but then I guess my company wouldn’t cover 80? % of it. So yeah…no prostitute, ignore that!
It’ll cost about $711 to surgically remove Harvey. They’d give me 3 units (45 minutes) of Anaesthesia, Deep Sedation that cost $293 and the actual removal will cost $418. Sadly, I think I’ve just too much of my dental benefits this year so I might have to wait until the next to separate ol’ Harvey and me. It doesn’t hurt at all and (after seeing the surgeon), can now feel it in my mouth (originally, I was looking in the wrong spot). It’s behind my teeth, near my tongue (not in the front, which would surgically be easier to remove).
Anyways, here’s an ACTUAL picture from my x-ray.
The 2 wires are remnants of my braces. Look at those deep roots. If my teeth where any stronger, they’d be growing into my brain…like so
Update: Organizing my pictures and for no apparent reason, I thought I would post this. It’s titled:
