First time in like six years. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I didn't get the greatest news in the world, I need to have four teeth pulled, but the good thing is that two of them are wisdom teeth so it;s not really a loss. I think of it was a little bit of a victory anyway because most people need to have their wisdom teeth extracted and I just need to have mine pulled. It will be less of a shock on my system and I won't be laid up for a week.
On one of my teeth it would cost me 1500$ for a root cannal and then a cap and it's only like a 50% chance that is would work. Or pay 150$ to get it pulled and then if I REALLY wanted another tooth I could have an implant done for roughly 2000$ and it is guaranteed not to rot or fall apart. So I'm going with option two, I can't afford to get the fake one just yet but I'll start saving.
The other tooth that is not a wisdom tooth that I need removed actually isn't as bad. It would be around 400$ to have it drilled and patched but because it's soo deep it could rot from the inside out and then it could cause jaw decay and I'm not willing to take the risk, even the very small risk, it's a non essential tooth anyway and if I am getting implants most places require two at the same time so it actually works out.
