person4Blargh... I have'ta go to the dentist in a few hours. I wish humans could unlatch their jaws like a snake (and, uh, had eyes on stalks or something so it's actually possible to see anything) so that I could see the bottom and backs of my upper molars, I didn't even know I had a cavity back their (hopefully only one) until it started to hurt, and I'm still not sure which of two tooth it's in since I can't see it. Mostly I'm just praying that the pain isn't the tooth's last dying cries for help as it's murdered by the cavity I never even realised I had, because I really wouldn't want to need a root canal.
Admittedly, if I do need one it'll be my own damn fault for not getting a checkup every half a year like they advise, and instead waiting until I have something that needs fixing. But really, I see the dentist more often then I see any other kind of doctor (I figure if there's ever anything really wrong with me they'll catch it when they test my donated blood), so I think people (aka, family) would have more ground to stand on for bitching at me about not taking care of myself if they bring up the fact I haven't had any dealings with a normal doctor in around a decade then they would with the fact that I don't see a dentist often enough.
Which reminds me, I'm almost twenty years overdue for a tetanus booster. That's one thing I do want to see about getting done, because, while I no longer step on rusty nails all the time like I did when I was a kid, I'm clumsy enough that it's only a matter of time before I fall down any get some old piece of metal rammed into me and I don't want to get the ol' lockjaw.
