Wisdom teef
My dentist wants them removed. They don't bother me, but they are impacted. His argument is to remove them now before they become problematic, while I have dental insurance and while I am young.
I don't want to have surgery in my mouth. It really just seems awful and since they don't bother me it seems stupid but at the same time what the dentist says makes sense.
Although I haven't called MetLife or Independent Health, I don't think that I will get more than 50% coverage. I don't have any money so that is a problem.
So where do I go if I do decide to get them removed? My dentist wants me to see Frank T. Sindoni who practices in Williamsville but I do not drive so that is also a problem. Buffalo Oral Surgery is on Linwood but I did not get a recommendation for them so that bothers me. Does anyone have any experience with any oral surgeons particularly in the city of Buffalo?
P.S. Dr. Katz, my dentist, moved to Williamsville. Anyone know a good dentist in Buffalo?

Obviously I am late in sharing these. I had another that I wanted to share but I can't figure out how to orientate it right.

I'm not moist and cold anymore
I love walking to and from work. I can get from my apartment door to work in just under 30 minutes. I can walk down Delaware, Linwood or Main Street. None of those seem like good bicycle routes. Delaware is way too fast and there is no shoulder really. Linwood I would be going down the wrong way and I could take the side walk but that is illegal and I don't really prefer it anyways. Main Street might be the best route on a bicycle now that I think of it. Not that it matters at the moment not having a bicycle.
So there are some problems with where I am living as there are with any place. First, they don't have any recycling here. If anyone knows me they know that I am OCD about recycling. I do obsessively judge other peoples recycling which is almost debilitating considering most people do it wrong. It is bad enough to have to give up my composting but the recycling thing is just too much. It is so hard to just throw it away. I will do my best to look for alternatives and stealthily dropping recyclables in other people's bins and pleading with friends to take them with them. The next major thing, and this is major, is that National Fuel will not turn my cooking gas back on until the owners fix a leak that is somewhere between my apartment and my meter. Third , it is a small stove and the range power is dramatically less than what I am used to. There are also several plumbing issues that need to be addressed. I told one of the owners about these problems (major and minor) on Monday, which he chastised me for calling him about them, and I still have not heard anything from them. If I want to communicate with them I must leave a message and wait for a call back. Oh and I almost forgot, one of the linen closet drawers is saturated with a bottle of perfume, one that I am especially repulsed by.
More of the good. I have two huge closets, one of them is a walk-in. I also have a built-in book case which is big enough to fit my entire library and then some. So far my neighbors have been quiet enough. There are outlets almost all over the place and if you have ever lived in a place without enough you will know how important that is. Oh and they are 3 prong so I don't have to use all of those dangerous adapters. I also have overhead lighting in every room. There is actually some good cupboard space too. I also have hardwood floors which is what all floors should be made of in my opinion.

The Red Raleigh- Libertad at 14
Today I went to the river without my old bicycle. It really made me sad when I realized that I never made the trip over the Peace Bridge with my red Raleigh Technium 420. I wanted to do it so bad but I didn't because I didn't get a bicycle rack and new tires. I thought that I would do it next year after I made those purchases...

Operation Pee-wee Herman
It is October 3rd and the weather is great. Don't have much time before most people stop riding for the winter. I spoke with the guy on Lexington and gave him a flier. He seemed like a nice guy and really doesn't want much to do with stolen bicycles. Gets his stock at auctions he says. He showed me the stuff he had in his garage. Still need to go to the one across from Wegmans.
Time to get back out there. That is so weird. It is 420 right now just like my bike.

You can be put under or just get some numbing shots (I did that, but I also mentally prepared for it in advance and had an amazingly gentle and all around awesome oral surgeon, Dr. Ben Oppenheimer- if you call him, tell him, "tough tooth" sent you).
Have soft foods on hand and give yourself more time to recuperate than what you might expect..recovery time varies so much. If I had a reliable car, I'd provide a ride; but I definitely don't. Good luck! :)
Despite how completely messed up mine were, and how much more severe the resulting removal operation was (the top ones being removed left temporary channels between my mouth and my sinuses), it was still actually pretty quick to have it done & to recover.
So considering my easy recovery, I'd say not to worry and just get it done so it's not hanging over you.
I really need to find a good dentist/hygienist in the area now. It just doesn't make any sense that there are not a lot of choices in the city for dentists and primary care physicians. It must be cheaper in the burbs for them, or maybe it is just people have better insurance out there, or maybe its both reasons.
if you do it, the surgery is not bad at all, you don't need to worry about that. good luck making your decision!
I had them done when I was sixteen. My surgeon knocked me out entirely so I have no idea what the surgery was like. I was probably home for about three days afterwards. Lots of soup and smooth things for a while and then back to normal.
Good luck with finding an oral surgery clinic. Maybe someone can help you with rides to appointments (and I'll even offer me and Drew) because I think it's important to find a really good one. You're not going to be able to take yourself the day of surgery anyway. You'll have to have someone take you home.
Anecdotal evidence: when I was 19, our family dentist told me that I should get all 4 wisdom teeth removed to avoid future problems. When I refused, he told me that I will be "begging him to remove them in a year or two". I got one side removed about 20 years later (because of an abcess on one of them) and still have the other two.
That being said, if memory serves, in general terms, younger is better when it comes to wisdom teeth extraction because the body can recover better.
I hope that helps.
he took one of my wisdom teeth out, it was cracked in half, and part of it fell out. He was a pro, and he even called at like 8pm that night after I could talk again, to see if I had any worries.
As for getting your teeth out, I don't know, I got one of my wisdom teeth out, and 4 other teeth a long time ago.
