Hello, there! I'm Jack!
I care WAY too much about dragons.

I also love vultures. Like a lot. You should totally click the link to the right that says "Save the Vultures".

Yo you know what.
Shout out to all you other kids who dont have perfect teeth. Who didnt get to grow up with dental insurance and feel insecure every time someone tries to force you to smile with teeth for a picture.

Your smile is awesome and amazing because it is a sign of your happiness, and you are beautiful.

Yeah that doesn’t stop the excruciating pain tho.  Who gives a shit what they look like?  That’s not what people with bad teeth worry about.  We worry about the infection getting into our blood and killing us.  We worry about the dry socket because we couldn’t afford dental care and had to pull any teeth that were rotting out.  I had three people who HAD GIVEN BIRTH tell me that the dry sockets that they had had HURT WORSE THAN LABOR.  I’ve always said that I didn’t want to ever give birth because of the intense pain and everyone was like, “Well fuck, you can handle it now.  You got through this.”

No one gives a shit about how their teeth look if they actually have bad teeth.  They don’t have time between boughts of spitting up blood and excruciating, horrifying pain.  I get that this was supposed to be a positive “It’s ok to be vain” thing, but honey, seriously, if that’s ALL that’s wrong with your teeth and you’re bitching about not being able to afford /cosmetic/ dentistry?  Then kinda, you know…  TRADE PLACES with someone who ACTUALLY has dental issues.

Like…  how privileged do you have to be to write something like that?  For real?  Like, “I realize that you live in constant fear of death, you’re always in excruciating pain, you may be on a liquid diet right now, your teeth may be overlapping in the most painful and tightening ways imaginable making your gums bleed and your entire body ache so that you can’t figure out if it’s normal teeth pain or an ear infection, but at least you shouldn’t feel ugly!”

Rich people have the weirdest priorities.

I have a tooth right now that I am GRATEFUL is crumbling because at least its not stabbing me in the cheek, and burrowing down into my gum and making it impossible for me to close my mouth all the way because its constantly swollen, or sleep on my right side.   Every time I eat something I have to be careful I don’t hurt myself and bleeding is a constant, and has been, for as long as I can remember.   When I told my father I was in constant daily pain, he told me to chew on fucking pretzels until my tooth fell out because he couldn’t do anything about it. I guess I’m just to fucking privileged to understand, though.  And I know there are people out there who have it worse than me.

Just because I decided to make a happy little post doesn’t mean I’m not fucking aware that it goes deeper, mmk? 

This post was meant to be for everyone, people with all sorts of teeth problems. Cosmetic and more serious and painful ones.  It wasn’t meant to ignite a fucking contest of who has it worse.
