So when I said that I needed to go to a dentist, I didn't really mean *today*. But the first one I tried had some cancellations because of the snow (what snow??), so I went.
My gums seriously hurt now. But I guess that's what I get for waiting so long.
Anyway, so the good news is that I had no cavities or anything.
The bad (and backwards) news is that my top wisdom teeth, which I thought were fine, need to be removed. The flip side, though, is that the bottom ones, which I figured *would* have to be removed, may not need it. Maybe.
Other than that, it was a good experience. The office is very nice, and it's so close that I could walk if I had to. The people were friendly, including the dentist, who didn't reek like smoke or taste bad (unlike my childhood dentist -- the only other dentist I've ever been to.)
