OK, I guess I'm done whining about comments. Now I will whine about the dentist. I like our dentist. He is a nice guy, but his profession is evil. I went to see him yesterday to take take of 2 cavities. One went nice and easy, nothing too bad, the second, well not so much. First I must go back to the past, so bare with me. While attending college my husband and I didn't have any dental insurance, so we didn't go to the dentist. On campus they had a little practice area for people wanting to practice their dental skills. For $25 you could go and get your cavities filled. Awesome, so I went and I have a lot of cavities. One in particular the student drilled and drilled and finally called over the real dentist (I know this is never a good sign). The real dentist said that the cavity was too big and that I needed a crown. Having no dental insurance, I knew that we couldn't afford that, so I smiled and told the dentist I would make an appointment as soon as I could, however, in the mean time could they put a filling in because it might be awhile. I think this was between 6 or 7 years ago, perhaps more, I'm not real sure. Now fast forward to yesterday. I ask the dentist if it is a really big filling that maybe should have had a crown put on it. Yep, it sure was. Now I have to go to a specialist and get a root canal done, then get back with my dentist and get a crown done. I did confess my story and he commented that really, it was a good use for $25 dollars and it lasted years. However, he put a very temporary filling in and tried to do some root canal work while it was drilled out, and of course he couldn't which is why I have to go see a specialist. So now I really need to get it done because it could get worse really fast. Did I mention that no specialist in the area is contracted though our dental insurance. So, The insurance will pay for some of the cost, but we will still have to pay more. I did get an appointment with the specialist on Monday, then I will have to call the dentist and see about that crown. I must admit that after I went to the practice dentist many years ago, I have gotten much better about cleaning my teeth, thus why it lasted long. That is a good thing right? I have numb face to look forward to and lots of dental bills. Yea!
