$2500 smile
Today my son, JD gets braces. He’s excited by the thought. I’m so glad that I’m not the one who has to take him for this appointment. I have this terrible feeling that he’s going to be crying in pain. I am not one to be strong for that….I’m terrified of dentists myself. In fact, I was told a month or so ago that I have to have my wisdom teeth out. The dentist gave me his card, and told me to “think about it” and then give him a call to book the appointment. As of today, I’m still “thinking about it”. I’m too scared to phone and make the appointment. I’ve nevr even had a filling done, so the thought of someone pulling perfectly fine teeth out seems barbaric to me. I’ve heard so many horror stories about this sort of stuff.
Anyway, back to my son’s issues. We were told that he’d possibly have some extractions. so we’re not sure if today is the extractions in preparation for the braces, or if he’ll be getting the actual braces today. Time will tell. Either way, I know that this is great for him in the long run. He’ll be done with the braces before he hits middle school. So when he starts to worry about his appearence, and is going thru the typical awkward teenage stuff (puberty, voice cracking, acne etc) at least he’ll have a killer smile! A $2500.00 smile!!
And I will probably still have my wisdom teeth.
