Udder Madness: Now with less teeth

Went to the dentist today, had three teeth removed (16, 26, 35 for the record) in order to make room for orthodontic movement.
Not at all a pleasant experience, and now there's quite a bit of blood and discomfort. Nurofen is awesome, but I like to limit my use of painkillers, we'll see if I can stand it.
Overall this year I'll have spent over 9000 dollars on dental and orthodontic treatment, which is pretty mindboggling.
