The Crater of a Quitter [Weekly Short Short Note]

My dental filling came out.
I don't remember when that tooth was treated.
I hate hospitals, and I especially hate dentists.
It might have been about ten years since I last went to a dentist.
I tried to struggle through it by chewing on the opposite side of the tooth where the filling came out, trying to avoid going, but it was impossible.
The tooth where the filling came out started to hurt, so I had no choice but to look for a nearby dentist.
That's because the last time I had treatment was before I moved here.

I had X-rays taken and checked my teeth and gums for periodontal disease.
After receiving emergency treatment for the area where the filling came out, I was told that I had many cavities and that the condition of my gums was not good.
Well, that's what happens if you leave them alone for ten years.
Apparently, craters have formed in the gums between my teeth.
Fortunately, the symptoms seem mild, so I was given instructions on how to brush my teeth and was told about the worst-case scenario.
I don't want to go to the hospital for a long time, and I don't want to end up with dentures.
Three days ago, I made up my mind to be thorough about brushing my teeth.
However, my habit of lying down and falling asleep right after eating hasn't been fixed.
The craters aren't fixed either.

Hello.
My teeth are very crooked and my dentist has recommended orthodontics, but I'm Hanemiya, and I thought I might pass on it because it would mean pulling teeth and it would cost 800,000 yen or more for the top and bottom.

I participated in Tarahakani-san's [Weekly Short Short Note].
The secret theme is 'The Crater of a Quitter'.

This time, I could only think of lunar craters, so I first searched for 'crater'.
The result that came up was the crater in the gums.
It's a term I learned for the first time, so I looked it up just in case, but I apologize if I used it incorrectly.

As with dentists, these days I think that regular checkups are necessary so that you don't have to go to the hospital as much as possible.

Regarding dental correction, my teeth are crooked, making it difficult for a toothbrush to reach when brushing, which results in cavities from unbrushed areas.
That dentist doesn't do orthodontics, and an orthodontist comes from a university hospital only a few days a month, but this is a point where I want to be careful.
It's not just about the cost or having to pull teeth, but last year, Hanemiya had a 'wisdom tooth incident' at another dentist, and I've been changing dentists.

Something... feels the same. As it did back then.

Thank you for reading.
I want to take good care of my teeth. This was Hanemiya.
