My TOOTH was going towards my brain!!!


My extracted TOOTH.

Born: May 1, 2007, The Medical City, Ortigas Complex, Pasig City.

"Congratulations, it's a boy!" My dentist, Dr. Julie Datumanong-Santos, jokingly exclaimed the moment Dr. Cruz, her teacher and my dental surgeon, has successfully extracted my impacted molar. Dr. Cruz said that my case was "special and very interesting"! Dr. Santos described the operation as something similar to a delivery by caesarian section. It took them 3 attempts before they found the tooth. My mouth was full of anesthesia so I did not feel any pain, but I can hear the several times my gums were slit.

My cousin says that my intelligence comes from that mysterious tooth. Now that it has been removed... I should be saying goodbye to my brain! But hey, that tooth, he said, could be used as "pampasuerte" for gambling. Hmmm... I am keeping it, who knows! The question is: Should I frame it or not?
