My Teeth Won't Cooperate!

     My teeth won't cooperate! Yesterday I got three teeth pulled because the teeth underneath are eating at the roots of the wrong teeth. So we pulled three teeth and later this month I will get a brace to hold the spots. I will have to wear retainers. Hopefully it will all last only a year and not longer. I also found out from my orthodontist that I am missing my upper left tooth. The funny thing is my mom and grandma are also missing the same tooth. He also told me that at some time I'll have to have braces.

    I love my dentist Dr. Mosslehi because he does a very good job. First he numbed the area with a brush and then did about five pricks with the syringe. That hurt. After that, my two bottom teeth went fast.  I could not feel anything.  But my top tooth refused to come out. The dentist had to use a special tool for that one and that one I could feel even through the numbing. 

     Once we got home, I had to bite down on gauze pads for four hours, changing them every fifteen minutes. We watched lots of TV.

     Later this month I will go into the orthodontist and get mouth impressions. And hopefully next month I should get the brace to hold the spots and the retainer.

Thanks for all the prayers.
