I am one of the most priviledged or rather the unlucky human being in the society of mankind to be blessed with 36 teeth. I guess god had given one look at my appetite and thought of 4 extra teeth to help the suffering of the rest of my body. However, i guess he had forgotton to defy the size, hence the overcrowding had made me to remove them in 2 stages.
The initial set of 4 was removed in the front in order to give me ample space to use the brazes to set my teeth fine in order. this was around 10 years back. it took me 4 long years of suffering pain which increased every time i went to the dentist due to further tightening of the braces. The worst part of it was that after tightening the braces, i had a hard time even biting into bread. I spent 2 days every month on porridge.
When you think of it, i never imagined on getting my swim teeth extracted. For those who do not know; Swim teeth are teeth that grow horizontal due to no space for upward growth. They are so close to the tonguesills that they appear buried within the gum and come out very late, just shooting a small head out. The problem is that, they give way for harmful bacteriological growth as well as offer no use at all. the next problem is that, the teeth right above them, tend to drop down in days to come due to non availability of a proper resistance below. this is a very rare case scenario. And Lo......I had 2 of them. Each on one side. The first set was extracted 2 years ago and the last 2 yesterday.
The pain is amazing. I cant eat, can open my jaw, cant sneeze, not even cough. To make it even better, i am down with a cold, tonguesills, cough and a slight fever. My body is having a Gala time yeh?
However it is now time for dedications. These 2 swim teeth and its oppostite neighbours have been with me for the past 10 years, working fearlessly, to keep mt stomach and the tongue happy. Parting with them means that the tongue and my stomach are gonna have a hard time as i am still gonna eat the same at the same time no matter what happens. Therefore i would like to dedicate 2 days of my life to thos lovable sisters who had helped me throughout my activities involving my mouth (90 % of my life has been that..no wonder im over weight..hehe) . Ive become a total vegetarian as well as on a liquid diet. These lovely pretty ladies are lying at the backyard. We had given them a full ceremonial burial.
My Teeth, May you Rest in Peace!
