I finally made it to an oral surgeon today, sure I've been before but this time
I'm actually going to have my teeth pulled.
A very dear friend of mine actually works for him, and I don't know how
to react to the kindness that was shown to me today.
For more years than I can remember my wisdom teeth have caused problems.
Its been constant issues with pain, teeth shifting, and cavities.
These last few months have been more than I can handle, the pain now
finding its way into my front gums and teeth. The pain
seeping through to cause
the bone to ache.
I always knew it was going to be upwards
of about $3,500 to be put to sleep and have it fixed.
Today however, I was taught that good people do exist.
This oral surgeon has agreed to numb my mouth and
pull 6 teeth for $700, also allowing me to split that amount into 4 payments.
Not only did he do me this huge favor, but he spoke to me with compassion.
He treated me not like I was just another patient, not just
another pay check, but rather someone who was in constant pain.
Its like he knew what these 6 teeth felt like.
My appointment is October 22nd and while I'm nervous about having
to be awake while these teeth come out, and I'm
lost as to how I will come up with the first $175...I am so thankful
to know that someone out there actually cares enough to
help me.
