We Found (or lost) Wisdom in Japan's Dental Services
Christine has been having a toothache for the past week or so and she finally braved going to the dentist to find out what the problem was. It turned out that one of her wisdom teeth was rotten and she needed it pulled. So they numbed her up and did it right there. They didn't tell her to make a second appointment in a week or something, just right there on the spot, which was good because if she had time to think about it she would have chickened out. She is feeling OK just a little sore, she is taking a refreshing bath right now with bath salts she got from a Christmas gift exchange.
She got x-rays (by a machine that played music), the tooth pulled, pain medication and antibiotics handed to her by the dentist (no run to the pharmacy) all for 40 bucks. They have some good dental insurance here. She asked to keep the tooth and you can see that she is still taking good care of it. (my appointment is next week, wish me luck).

For the record, my tooth was not ROTTEN! It didn't have a tooth below it, so it was descending and knocking against a bottom molar. I told Don not to say that it was rotten because A) it is a lie, B) it sounds really gross, C) it makes it seem like I don't take care of my teeth, which I do, and D) it sounds gross. Maybe I occasionally let stuff in the refrigerator get rotten, but not anything IN MY MOUTH. Thanks babe.
