Truth about Teeth

So it's so unfair. My whole life, my teeth have been slow. Not in chewing, mind you--but in coming in. I was almost three and I had four teeth in my head. (two of which my brother accidentally knocked out with his big head) I got my twelve-year-old molars at 16--it's been a weird ride.

And now, when I'm almost 30, I'm finally becoming wise.. I'm getting my wisdom teeth in. Which most college students get out! And now I feel like a baby, because my gums are sore, and my other teeth keep sitting on the swollen part and I have this dull throb in the side of my jaw. And I'll probably have to go to the dentist, one of my favorite places to go.. and then possibly to the oral surgeon, which I'm sure will be even more fun.

Urgh.. No great truth to be learned here. Just urghing right now.

I'll pass on a bit of wisdom regarding wisdom teeth -- ask to be knocked out when they take them out. The benefit of not knowing what's going on far outweighs the fear of being "put under." Trust me ...
