I went to the dental office to have a dental cleaning. Since my husband didn’t have a full time job for the past one year, we could not have the dental insurance and thus, no dental cleaning for more than one year. I desperately needed one. Today I could finally have it. I was happy to see my favorite hygienist. I have had her cleaning treatment for several years now. We always start off a small conversation as we both are a mother of a young age daughter.
When her assistant was taking an X-ray picture of my mouth, she retook it several times on my left side. I was wondering about it. Later, the hygienist solved the mystery. When the dentist checked my teeth, he said everything looked good. I didn’t have any cavity and my gum looked healthy. Then the dentist turned back to the hygienist and kind of whispered to her that they would keep an eye on something. They were pointing something on their computer screen that showed my X-ray picture. After the dentist was gone, I asked the hygienist what they were talking about. She showed me the X-ray picture and pointed one area. She told me my X-ray shows that I have an extra tiny tooth inside the gum in the wisdom tooth area. I took out 4 of my wisdom teeth in order to have a braces in my younger days. I asked her how rare to have an extra tooth. She said it was not very rare. After I came back home, I did some research about an extra tooth for adults. It says 1 out of 40 people have it. I am glad to know I am not the very rare person to have it.

School update: The school sent three school textbooks for my daughter’s homeschooling. They are all thick and hard cover books. Luckily the three books look like brand new ones. They sent all the old and beat up textbooks last year. We expect to receive some more text books to arrive. The new school year is coming very close.

Today’s dream. I was with my brother in Japan. We were in the process of selling my parents’ house. This dream didn’t accompany with any emotions. I watched the process with neutral state of mind.
