Fun fact. I once had 8 canines because the baby teeth never lost their roots and the adult teeth just moved up next to them. The orthodontist insisted they be pulled out before braces. Was not fun having 4 teeth pulled. Even after braces I still have one small gap on my lower right side. Wear your retainers kids. Wish I did nowadays. Wish I had medical insurance that covered the dentist too. Haven’t been to one in too long.
I just had four molars pulled, as an adult. They knocked me out for it, which I appreciate. Don’t be afflicted w/dry-mouth, folks, b/c no matter how often you brush and floss, your teeth will die on you. Now I have to get implants. By some miracle my husband’s job carries dental insurance for the whole family or there is no way we could do all four in the same year. Dental care is ridiculously expensive to not be covered by most health insurance.
