When I was in third grade I fell through some monkey bars and knocked the bottom half of both of my front teeth out. When I had them repaired the dentist only added a bonding to the bottom halves because my face was still growing and he didn't want to pull them out and replace them. Well I have just left the bonding there since I haven't had any dental insurance and that would surely be an expensive process. I did have the bonding replaced once because I knocked them out at one point and they just repaired them.
Now to my frustration. Last night as I was playing with Finn, I got hit in the mouth with a bone and it cut my upper lip and knocked out one of my bonded pieces, so that leaves me looking like a hockey player that was punched in the face. I was supposed to go and tutor this morning which I obviously couldn't do. I look ridiculous and no sixth grade child would take me seiously, plus I am now talking with a lisp. So I have been trying to find a dentist that is open on Saturdays and I have found a couple, but they are all booked up and since I am in no pain, it isn't technically an emergency. Grrrrrr. I can not go out looking like this. I know I sound ridiculous, but it's just how I feel. My lip hurts like h&ll and it keeps scraping on my broken tooth. I just want to cry. I have to go to work tomorrow, because they just don't have any other coverage at the boarding kennel, but then I'll need to take off again on Monday for my appointment. I just don't get why these places don't work on weekends when a lot of people are off and take random weekdays to close. I would think that would mean more business for them.
Who knows. I just needed to vent. I'm off to put some ice on my lip and maybe eat something if I can.
