Take Good Care of your Teeth, Kids

I spent two hours and $1500 at the dentist's office today getting my old bridge removed, having some decay cleaned up, and getting a new temporary bridge. If I had a time machine, I would go back to my teenage self and smack him with a sack of tooth brushes.

And since it also came to mind, does the invulnerability Rogue got from Carol Danvers extend to her nails, hair, and teeth? Does that mean she'll never have cavities, no matter how much sugar she eats? I'd imagine she still brushes her teeth and goes to the dentist for a proper cleaning, since she'd still get bad breath if she let things go. But every time she goes to a new dentist she has a conversation like this...

Rogue: You need to be careful when you're working on me. Dentist: You don't make a living putting your fingers in other people's mouths without learning how to not get bitten. Rogue: That ain't what I meant. Look, doc; I'm a mutant, and my particular mutation means that you could get hurt if you touch my bare skin with yours. I know you're gonna wear gloves, but make sure all your assistants and such know not to touch me. Not my lips, not my cheek, not my tongue. I don't know about my teeth. Dentist: Thanks for the warning, but I don't think it'll be a problem. Now, open wide...

Luxury bone anxieties

On the one hand, Im very happy I was able to get a tooth pulled before it became an infection that enteredy bloodstream, but on the other hand it sucks I had to have them pull it because even with top of the line dental insurance (Federal VIP) that I pay $70/month for, it would have been $3.5k to have a root canal and crown put on.

It does not help that I cannot tell if this is healing correctly or if I'm lowkey doomed because I cant stop fucking with it. I woke up with my tongue in the socket, where it should not be and it aches and gets filled with food no matter what I eat. Im terrified this is going to be just like my wisdom teeth and I'm gonna get dry socket and have to deal with them ripping out the clots and debriding the wound and starting the healing process all over again from scratch.

Root canal tomorrow. I gotta pay $1800 up front and then hope insurance reimburses me. What a fun game.

I was trying to hold out until next year to get a cavity filled because I hit the limit of my dental coverage, but it apparently hit the root. My dentist is also closed Fridays so I’m gonna be in a lot of pain all weekend.

Health insurance: congrats, you unlocked chewing for another 6 months

After having a dentist appointment about every 3 weeks since January, I am finally done until July. If anyone is younger than me and reading this, I'd really recommend making it a habit to floss and brush twice per day in your 20s. It's all fun and games until your 3rd root canal and 2nd botched post and crown.

Today I will hopefully stop throwing up from this 3 week tooth infection. Maybe a bit of food? If I can consume weed that will help. I can't use the vaporizer bc it hurts the tooth too much but0 maybe an RSO

I did have a little food a couple of days ago. Dentist is tomorrow but this is making my break feel... not good! And my stomach has been messed up in publicly embarrassing ways from weeks of antibiotics.

But for now, I'm going to stay in bed with the dogs and show them SPEED (1994) for the first time ever (I assume).
