for some reason you have to be 23 to get a tooth implant so i NEEEEEEEEDDDD this one tooth to hold out for a year and a month. but on the other hand i kinda want it out of my mouth. but am i brave enough (hashtag girl) to live with a very visibly missing tooth. is the question.

#tmi if tooth or body stuff freaks you out but the reason i have that tooth there is because it was stuck in my gums #and i was still freaking it with my babytooth but also there was this experimental surgery that would be free #if i did it before i turned 16 #where they basically pulled the baby tooth excavated the tooth from my gums then took the roots out (? is that how u say that?)#and then see if it fuzed with my jaw bone or not. Dear Reader It Has Not.#its literally hanging on by the grace of god and also my gum alone #which is like reasonably enough it would not be that big of a deal if my tooth hadn't started eating itself from the inside out #like ok i get that this is all very gross stuff but listen i live with this and i genuinely am wondering if i should just get it pulled #cause there is like. a hole in my tooth. like from the top. and the top ridge of said tooth is fully exposed on the outside #(its also understandably quite wobbly btw)#and anyway its just nasty cause stuff gets stuck and also the teeth neighbouring it hurt sometimes bc the gum's pulled back #and its a bit yellow and super visible in my smile and like i could just get it pulled.#and then i'd have to tough it out for a year and however long it'd take me to finance the replacement. or i'd grow not to mind it #and keep it like that forever.#IDK. im just getting tired of it and all this is brought on by the simple fact that i think a bit of broken tooth is stuck in the gap #(doesnt hurt obv bc its DENERVED thats the word in english its denerved but it is like annoying)
