The left half of my mouth is very numb. Stupid fillings and cavities. Well, apparently I grind my teeth, but my dentists have never informed me of this until today (hence the reason my jaw pops like it does). I guess I have loose ligiments--Maura, my dentist, said she has it as well, and that a lot of women do just because of the extra space we have in our bodies for bones to move when we become pregnant. I'm going in next Tuesday to have impressions taken for a bite guard to wear at night to prevent the ligiments from tearing off and the disc there from slipping, and then I'll pick it up a couple of weeks later. She also wants me to get my wisdom teeth removed, but I really don't have the time in my schedule (mainly because of my work schedule...I don't want to quit too early and lose two or three weeks of making money) before I no longer have Dad's phenominal GM health insurance...not to mention I live by myself, so oral surgery would REALLY suck to deal with. They're in as much as they will be, and they're not causing me any problems, but she's afraid of infections later on.

hmm...calling Mom right now to talk about it all if she's home yet. We'll see.
