19. you'll b so happy when your teeth r good.

i’ve had so much work done in the last 4 yrs. it cost me $10k in 20. thought i was insured, but wasnt.
i just had the 1st fitting for the last bit- new molars. i’ve got no top molars atm, and man will i b happy to chew again. pretty sure it’s not a coincidence that i’m having bad gut issues rn.
i hate teeth. they’re so stupid. they shd either heal, like the rest of the body, or we shd get more than 2 sets. i’m my father’s daughter in almost every way, but i got my mom’s teeth. he had his 1st filling at 60. he had a perfect smile. they were white despite a 3 pack a day habit.
my mom lost the last of hers at 50. course, she’s the 1 that had 7 babies, but still. she suffered w dentures almost half her life.

it helps that my dentist is adorable. father and son practice. stayed w pops for decades cuz i had a crush. lol. got bumped to the son, something that i discovered in quite hilarious fashion.
pops is an irish history buff. gonna grab him for the weekly irish singalong at the brewpub down the block some tuesday soon.

hope all goes well. hang in there.
