that bites.


Okay, as you may recall, I am missing a couple of teeth.

Once upon a time, I had braces.

But before I could get the braces put on, the dentist had to pull the first molars from both sides of my lower jaw -- they were baby teeth, and had no adult teeth below them.

So, thanks to the gaps in my jaw, which I was later informed would cost $1500 each to repair, I have a chunk missing out of my left second molar, and a chip in my right second molar. I also have a badly receded gumline along that area.

In order to protect my teeth from further breakage, and to prevent my gums from disappearing entirely, which they seem currently destined to do, I need to get a crown and an implant.

My cheap-ass insurance is only willing to pay like $750 of the roughly $1750 price, so I am really hoping the dentist's office has a payment plan.

Because pixie needs a new tooth, bitches.
