#toothstain

So these two phots are about three years old now, but not too much has changed other than my glasses, hair length, and I probably won't have that bright healthy glow of pure happiness until I go back to Italy. I am posting these because I don't really have too many other photos of myself full fronal smiling because I have a tooth that is pretty damn stained and it always has been and always will be. Just someting I was bon with and I have learned to just be cool with it, after all it is apart of my face.

Well, today I had my teeth cleaned and the dentist without even asking me said, "Okay, so for the front left tooth I will send out a referral for a lumineer to your insurance company. Well, I told him I didn't need one, it was fine. He just shrugged and said okay. I don't know what to do! I have always been pretty solid in my decision to keep my teeth as they are because it is weird, pointess, and superficial to have perfect white chicklet teeth. Even when posed with the idea from the dentist. It really is a procudure that is purely for aesthetic purposes.

I am actually kind of conflicted, and I realize this is a first world problem, but I am going to be twenty-four years old this May and that means only two years left covered by my parents insurance and who knows what I will be eligable for when I have my own plan. I really need to make a decision by tomorrow, and I feel like I am being immature and stubborn by keeping my stained tooth and I feel like I am being superficial and untrue to myself if I get it done.

Well, trying to find a non-forced or strategically positioned photo of my natural grin in high definition was extremely difficult, which clearly says I don't want to show my teeth. I have also conditioned myself to speak with my mouth kind of closed and whenever I laugh or smile I put my hand over my mouth.
