$52 Tooth
Take a look at a $52 tooth, beautiful isn't it. Masie cant seem to great a break and if it isn't one thing its another, last week I took her to the orthodontist to get checked out as her adult teeth don't seem to have enough room to come in and they are pushing the other ones out of place. There is not much they can do for the top teeth right now, as she doesn't have the two adult teeth either side of her front two, they are just not there. So we are going to leave the top ones for now, she will need braces for sure but we have to get all her adult teeth in first. So tomorrow she is scheduled to have 4 teeth pulled out, after our insurance and without tax it works out to be $52 a tooth. So we were on a mission, she had a wobbly one and I told her that I would give her $2 if she got it out before her appointment (I know I'm cheap but I can get away with it right now). I also told her that she would receive $5 per tooth for being so brave at the dentist (from the tooth fairy of course), she is saving for England so she was delighted with that idea and it made her a lot less nervous, that tooth fairy is so kind!! The tooth had a little help from the nurse at the appointment for the other two this morning, we know her well and she is lovely. Masie went in there and showed her that it was almost out and was literally just hanging, she also explained that it needed to be out today to receive an extra $2. Lisa put on a rubber glove and opened her mouth "What do you think you are doing" said Masie. "Getting that $2 for you Masie" said Lisa, Masie looking a bit worried but agreed, and out came the tooth!! So here it is a $52 tooth.
Wish her luck!!

ReplyDeleteYou'll do great Miss Masie! And you will be rich too! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Masie - Your mum is a cheapskate - you should bargain higher. Say $30 per tooth you pull yourself. If the dentist is charging $52 per tooth $30 is still a bargain.
