About a month ago, I got my wisdoom tooth out. Everything seemed fine until about two days ago when my mouth started hurting again. I think it’s funny that as soon as you tell any of your friends that something hurts, they automatically become doctors. So after consulting my dentist friends, I realized that the hole in my mouth didn’t completely close. Weird logic has taught me that whenever there’s a hole in your body and nothing gross comes out of it, you should probably get it checked out.
My dentist friends also told me that the hole should have been stitched close after the extraction, which it wasn’t. I guess it’s my fault for paying some guy on the street corner 5 bucks to pull my tooth. Sure, it sounds like a bad idea now, but it’s not like I have dental insurance through that job I don’t have.
I also probably should have questioned why his diploma was a McDonald’s receipt that said “I am a dentist” in barbecue sauce, but hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
So I guess I’ll be heading to a dentist again this week. Or maybe I’ll find a guy who will only charge me $4.
