I'm a medical mystery! Or, to be more precise, a dental mystery. And also, not exactly mystery, but a difficult problem at least.
Here's why:
I went to the dentist, because I had to and because one particular tooth hurt more than the others. He made some x-ray pictures, in order to get a good look at my teeth (which is why they usually make xrays, but you know. I started the sentence, so I had to finish it) Turns out, there's another tooth, hidden in my jaw, and sort of growing into my hurty tooth. We knew there was something there, I even had to go to a specialised surgeon for it, but they decided to do nothing because it was only a lump of whatever teeth are made from, and they weren't even sure what it was going to do and they didn't want to ruin my jaw for a lump of matter. But now, that little lump turned into a more or less proper tooth and its bugging my other teeth. The question's of course, what's it doing there? The dentist and his assistent were actually looking at the pictures, counting my teeth and talking to eachother, looking for old files and photos of my jaw and everything. And there was me trying to follow what was going on. (Teeth on x-ray pictures look fascinating, btw.) It was really cool, I felt like I was in some episode of House, or something. And thy don't know what to do now, cos they can't just pull that thooth that's already there and just hope the one in my jaw is gonna come out right. So they're gonna talk to my old orthodontist (I never had braces or anything, but I went there a couple of times, because of the possible surgery of my jaw and everything) and the surgeon and then together they have to decide what to do. It's really exciting!
(Apart from the fact that it's probably gonna involve surgery and braces. Which are a) hurtful, and b) REALLY EXPENSIVE! I already decided that I'm not gonna do the braces because my health insurance doesn't cover them at all. Later, when I'm rich I just buy very expensive neat looking new teeth ^^. But unfortunately, the surgery is almost certainly neccesary 🙁)
So, that's my adventure on the last day of the year. Happy 2009 everybody! 😀
