Finally, I’m almost at stage two of completing my major dental work. In 6 days, I will be heading up to Penn Dental to get my dental implant. I am so not looking forward to it. Luckily, it’s only going to set us back around $300 (thank the gods I do not believe in for dental [...]
btdubz? I went from 28 to 27 teeth on Thursday. I, as a pale and pasty faced Drunkenatheist, made it to Penn oral surgery at 10 and was back in an exam room by 10:10. Right away, the oral surgery students started to run a big shpiel about nitrous. A minute in, my mouth said [...]
