I had a dentist appointment this morning, and it was going surprisingly well. When the assistant was cleaning my teeth, she said, "Now, you had braces didn't you?" She just couldn't believe it when I said no. I've been tremendously lucky, and my teeth are pretty straight on their own.
Then the dentist came in and said, "What brand of whitening strips do you use?" And he couldn't believe it when I said I hadn't bleached my teeth. Score two for Erin.
Then, he pulled out the x-rays and said, "So, how are those wisdom teeth feeling?"
Um, excuse me? What? This dentist appointment just got a whole lot less fun.
Apparently it's normal for them to show up any time before you're 25. Great. They're just showing up on the x-ray. I have something to look forward to.
But for now, I'll just take comfort in the fact that I was blessed by the tooth fairy in at least one aspect.

ERIN!!! I've missed your blogging! Glad you're "back!"
Oh get 'em out while you're young-- and all at one shot. I'm... ahem... "older" and I had three taken out at three different times-- ugh. Not fun. You DO have a pretty smile!
You can do it! I did and it wasn't that bad. I have a funny story to share with you later on...
Yeah mine are just coming in. Umm they hurt. yeah :)
i have never had braces or whitened my teeth either! my wisdom teeth came in when i was 14!!!!! and my dentist told me they didn't need to come out! maybe your dentist will tell you the same - but i sometimes wish that i would have had them taken out anyway.
cute pic of you!
