432 I'm in a bad mood today. Why?
433 Because I have a dentist appointment.
434 I don't know why I have so many cavities.
435 I've always brushed my teeth and flossed.
436 When I was a teenager, I had braces put on to straighten out my teeth, but that was all.
437 Three months ago I had a toothache and so I made an appointment.
438 Since then I've had two root canals and fillings put in three teeth.
439 The dentist said that I need to brush harder to prevent gum disease.
440 I hate the sound of the dentist's drill, but the worst thing is the painkiller.
441 It really hurts when the dentist inserts the needle.
442 And then my mouth feels funny.
443 I sometimes have to spit into a little sink to keep from choking.
444 It's not any fun.
445 The dentist said that I might even have to have my wisdom teeth taken out and one front tooth replaced.
446 It seems like it would be easier just to get dentures.
447 This could be real expensive.
448 Well, at least I have insurance coverage.
