I Lost Some Wisdom...

Yesterday was quite the day. I went to the dentist with a minor toothache, and ended up learning I needed all 4 wisdom teeth removed immediately.

Four hours later I was being wheeled out to Craig's car with a swollen face, glazed eyes and 4 teeth missing from my head.

Please listen to me when I say Go to the Dentist!!! I had not been since 2001. My top right wisdom tooth was literally rotting away and had started to affect my nerves, which is why my other tooth was hurting. I had lost a lot of bone and would have lost other teeth if I did not have those out yesterday.

I brush 2-3 times a day and use Listerine or Crest Pro Health Whitening mouthwash everyday. My teeth are white and I have never had a toothache before-thus the reason for never going to the dentist. I received the best advice yesterday that I will now live by-Just Because Your Teeth Look Healthy-Doesn't Mean They Are.

I do want to give an extra special Thank You to Craig. He took time off work to go with me. He waited outside for me and got all instructions about what I need to do. He took me to get my meds, a milkshake and then home where he made some mashed potatoes (I hadn't eaten all day.) He even called my Mom to update her on my status. Here is a little photo montage in honor of the greatest guy ever...My HeRowe
