Why You Should Go To the Dentist When You Have a Tooth Ache

Well, its been an exciting and scary time up here in Ohio. A while back Corey started to get a tooth ache, he did what Corey does and ignored it. Finnally it got so bad that he went to the dentist, the dentist gave him some antibodics and told him his wisdom teeth where so rotin that they had become infected, and they would have to come out. So they set up on apointment to have the teeth out, and Corey took the antibodics. A week later his head became so swollen that Mom called Uncle Bill to ask what to do, he said to get him to the emergancy room now, he was about to leave for his house and take a pile that would help him sleep, Mom stoped him at the door and had to force him to go to the emergency room. He had to miss the Jackets game and Abbey had to go in his place. Today he had to have surgury to remove the infection that had spread to his neck. The doctor said that if he had waited just a few hours longer the infection would have spread to his heart and he would have died. He's okay now, but they say he'll have to relearn how to use his mouth again.

Hope your all doing okay up there

Wow, that's some pretty shocking stuff. I'm glad that he's alright. Thank goodness for your mom.

I'll now be going to the dentist as often as people are supposed to!

Teeth are dumb. Probably the worst invention ever. They could've come up with something better to eat with besides teeth. Or at least a lifetime guarantee.
