Farewell, Wisdom Teeth.



I have three wisdom teeth in my mouth and when I went to the dentist last week, he looked in my mouth for about fifteen seconds and said they all had to go. The teeth have shifted and are basically sideways, and in the x-rays you can see that the roots are crooked, too.
They did not give me a copy of the x-ray.
This Saturday at 7:30 AM I have an appointment to get these babies [my wisdom teeth] cut out of my mouf. I've got a lot of feelings about this.

PROS:
  • It will be easier to brush all my teeth, it is actually not easy to get them all
  • So much more room for the OG crew of teeth to hang out in there
  • The whole "sideways molar thing" will be a thing of the past
  • Maybe they will let me keep the teeth
  • Maybe my sister will take a hilarious video of me in my post-tooth extraction state and I will become the next viral YouTube sensation and get PAID
  • Free from the burden of wisdom

CONS:
  • I am very scared
  • Pain
  • What if they give me too many drugs
  • What if they don't give me enough drugs
  • I'm worried that I will start texting people after the procedure, please, Katherine, don't let this happen
  • I just read an article about someone who got her wisdom teeth out and sustained nerve damage and one side of her face NEVER REGAINED FEELING. WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS TO ME??
  • What if they put me under and the building catches on fire?
  • What if I miss my wisdom teeth!
  • Ghost tooth haunting possibility?

I mean, it will all be fine. It will be totally fine. IT'S GONNA BE FINE. I'm just kind of nervous. I've had a lot of unpleasant dental experiences in my day.

I really hope they let me keep the teeth.
