I can't contact my dentist back home. So I have to wait till I go back to get another pair. Hopefully, my teeth will still stay in shape! My er retainers got thrown away by a friend.

One time I had this major toothache, went to a dentist, he said that I'd have to get a root canal and a crown and the total cost would be $700+. I remember suggesting to the dentist that maybe he should just pull out that tooth and save me the money...hahaha. He sent me home to think about it and thankfully, the pain died down and I finally did the same procedure in Malaysia for RM700. A visit to the dentist in the US is pretty scary too.
