4 minus 1 equals 3 wisdom teeth

I had three teeth infected with cavity (yeah, I’m the choco monster). After my dentist had filled two teeth he asked me if he already told me that my health care doesn’t pay for the fillings and I have to pay 50 Euro. Well, I expected that. He explained everything very detailed and nice, and THEN, he asked me if he should better pull the last tooth (one of my wisdom teeth). Ahhhh, whaaat? I answered that his question is a LITTLE bit too spontaneous for me now…(honestly, I acted like a coward…haha). He said that it wouldn’t hurt and he’d pull it in less than half a minute. He also said that he would earn more if he filled the tooth, but it would be absurd because the tooth (wisdom t.) has no opposite tooth to bite with (don’t know how to explain in English..). To say it with one word: the tooth is…useless. I asked two hundred more questions to feel better (but not less afraid) and then he gave me a syringe, in my palate (Gaumen). That hurts, *autsch*. He said, this hurts more than the pull-action. Sure. 10 minutes later he started to get my wisdom tooth (upper left) out, not even 10 seconds it was done. Wow! Didn’t hurt at all. Only heard the movement of the roots. Nice as he is, he cleaned the tooth from its blood and whatever else stuff, before he showed it to me. He explained what he would have done to it (he took his cutting machine and did some work to the tooth just for explanation). Yes, I was wondering why my dentist has so much time to talk to me…it is maybe a result of the actual situation of the German health care system (it starts to become a money thing to visit doctors). Anyway, he gave me the tooth that I took home with me (I spare you with a photo of it *g*). Looks cute, though. Smaller than I expected a wisdom tooth to look like. However, I was advised not to eat in the next 2 to 3 hours. I couldn’t eat for 8 hours. It hurt a little bit, esp. after the syringe lost its effect. Today, it is much better, but the area in my mouth still feels strange…kind of empty…grin(s). I still have my other three wisdom teeth. Yeah, I am very lucky, I know…and so wise. Good thing is that they all grew straight and they can stay where they are….lucky me. Must now eat less chocolate to prevent more cavity in the other three “wise teeth”…oh waaa, that will be hard. Should rather brush my teeth right after each sweet choc session.
P.S.: I bought three 250g choclate bars (Marabou) at IKEA today. The same bargain (or special offer) they have since a few weeks; three bars that means 750g, for 4,40 Euro. Good deal.
