Tooth Scary?

Of late the Tooth Scary is giving me frequent visits. She leaves me crinkling my nose and sticking my tongue where my so called "wisdom" tooth is supposed to come up.

God, how I wish I didn't have that much wisdom!

A year back or so I had my left wisdom tooth examined by my friend (the only dentist I am not terrified of) and she had cut my gums for the struggling tooth to painlessly come out (at least that's what she said) and also she chipped the top portion of the tooth so that it wouldn't press against my top gums and create a problem.

Further digging into my mouth and teeth made her exclaim, "O No!", and that was it. I could hear my heart pound, "Whaaash issh ich", I asked, the hook still in my mouth.

"Dear, your wisdom tooth has no place to come out, it's growing into your jaw bone. Things are going to get worse if you don't get it plucked".

I wished I had never heard that. I think my face went white because she added, "For now what I have done is fine. If ever it reoccurs, get it plucked".

Thank you doc! Now that's better news! The local anesthesia wouldn't let me grin. I thanked her and went home.

But now my right tooth has started tantrums, "Let me out! Let me out!", it seems to say.

I messaged my sister who had recently taken out all four of her wisdom teeth and lived to tell the brave story. "My wisdom tooth is creating problems again", I said.

She calls me "bee". She replied, "Take it out bee before it gets worse. I had all four plucked, remember?"

I had just one reply to give, "You are brave. But bee will pee. Dentists are really "dent"ists. They create dents in your mouth as well as your pockets!"

My dear tooth please be a good tooth. Don't hurt me and u can live in there peacefully. Else someone's gonna pluck you out and that's the end of your life... or rather... mine!
