Dead teeth and weekend


SO these aren't my teeth, but I am on my way to the one on the left. A long time ago, when I was ummmm 9 or 10, I smashed my face into the sidewalk while knee boarding on a skateboard.  My tooth was knocked loose, but not out so I pushed it back in and hoped for the best.  My dentist told me that my teeth would turn black within the next year and I would need implants or caps or something.  Well I am 23 and my teeth have never turned black, they've managed to stay white even through braces. Well, meet Kirk, my brother...
He is an endodontist, yes that is better than a dentist, was here this weekend and says, "Calli, is your tooth grey?" I replied, "not that I've noticed..." He is examining my tooth making me more and more self conscious by the second.  Well, I brushed it off because he is just a nit picky dentist.  Today at lunch Shalene says, "Calli, I think your tooth is darker than normal."  She claims she just noticed it the past few days.  Well I got in my car and looked in the rear view mirror, yes my tooth is definitely darker.  Really? 14 years later? When I don't have parents paying for dental insurance? Really? SO I did a little ice cube to the tooth test and yes I felt nothing and my tooth is dead.  This means I get to fly to New York for a nice vacation of having my brother perform a root canal and internal bleaching or something to that nature on me.  Ughhhh.....



As for the weekend, There was lots of family time, sparkle partyness, wedding shower, baby blessings, and not one ounce of homework. Oh how I love being a graduating Senior who is so done with caring about school!

How's your grey tooth now? Has it been fixed? Well, at the very least, you get to visit your family and friends after your appointment with your brother/dentist. Anyway, congrats on your graduation!

Well, it's definitely handy to have a brother, who's a root canal expert. How did the treatment go? Your case isn't that rare, Cali. Sometimes, it takes longer for symptoms of dead teeth to manifest.
