Pulling Teeth

Been to the dentist, as it's recently become apparent that my increasingly troublesome wisdom teeth aren't going to get any better of their own accord (and are, in fact, in the process of getting much worse). Both of the lower ones need extracting, which gives me something to look forward to for next month. In the meantime, I've been given prescription toothpaste so my molars will feel like little enamel fortresses, rather than those buildings on Space Invaders after the aliens have bombed them for ten minutes.
