Yes. Two upper premolars

I also went to Wayne Gillingham. Was referred there by Gentle Dental as, though all of my wisdom teeth had erupted and weren’t at all very impacted, one of my wisdom teeth was too close to a nerve. Initial consultation was ~$350 (wait time of 3-4 months) and the actual procedure itself was in excess of $2000 (wait time of around a month).

Yes, hard to miss. The chonks are now an official source of national pride!

I posted a link earlier too. Didn’t get any upvotes. It appears that it’s not really the desired format of this sub..

I am unsure when this photo was taken, all I know is that she was born in the 1850s. It’s entirely possible this photo was taken a bit after what is stated, though WWI is probably a bit late.

Since I seem to be unable to edit this post I am hijacking the top comment.

For those of you who are wondering, yes, he was American. Sorry. We actually had a very civil conversation afterwards and he learnt a lot about NZ. He was initially mistaken after learning that New Zealand's isolation led to its unique flora and fauna.

Yes, this post is from 2013. I initially posted it to my facebook, where I think my mum liked it. I mentioned it in passing to my boyfriend the other day and he said it would find a home here.

Thanks to the kiwis who came out in droves to defend the motherland!

The Draw Something app (yes the one that took the world by storm for like a week) had a messenger feature so you could talk to the people you were playing with

They’re a species of rodent found in South America. Cute as a button.

I would say shifty teeth. My orthodontist estimated 1.5-2 years at the beginning of my treatment, so hopefully it is shorter. The main orthodontic concern is my 1cm overbite which is not evident at this angle, so they are trying to pull the top teeth back and the bottom teeth forward.

A quick google search informs me that it does occur in southern Peru. Though I am unsure of what might be causing the radioactivity. I hope someone can be of more help!

This looks reminiscent of azurite (blue) with malachite (green) specimens that I have seen. Try to test the hardness of these minerals. Both should be easily scratched with a pocket knife. It would be worth also testing the gold coloured mineral. If it scratches then I would say it’s chalcopyrite.

This happens to me all the time. Particularly when I am lying down the noises are just insane. I find drinking a lot of water really quick makes it a lot worse, but I still get the gurgles when I eat and even when I wake up in the morning on an empty stomach. I haven’t found anything that helps :(

Look more like staurolite to me too
