My Teeth

While I was in the shower this morning I noticed how my teeth feel like they’re moving around a bit - anyone who has ever had braces or headgear or whatnot knows that kind of vague pressure that means something is rearranging itself. So I made the mistake of examining my teeth in the mirror a little bit later.

Although nothing, as far as I can tell, has moved significantly, the teeth that I’m going to tenatively call K9’s (because they look like fangs or something) are, in my mouth, not pointy. Yep, the tips that I thought they had, sicking down from either side of my mouth…not there. It looks like something chopped off the bottom bits.

I have no idea how long they’ve been like that. I don’t really look at my teeth that often. I should definitely get a dentist appointment when I go home. Damn this British food.
