Had to see the dentist at 8:30. Not fun. Saw him for a broken molar. Luckily, I had had a root canal on it some years ago, so it doesn't hurt. Turns out I need an oral surgeon. GOD, dentists are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO expensive. Even with our insurance, I'll be forking out some big money. Crap. Then I need a crown and a filling. Don't know if I will bother. I'm not gonna live long- seems like a bad investment. Only half kidding.

Oh fun. I just had to get a root canal on a tooth that was crowned- only I was in pain for two weeks so I was more than happy to get it done. I have 2 types of dental insurance luckily. No health, but I do have everything else. Total cost for two hours of work? $1600. Ridiculous.

Hang in there, Tela! Dental problems can morph into serious problems elsewhere. Take care of it now before it worsens. Best wishes!

Fossilman you're a tough old bird if you're pulling teeth. rockjunquie I think we found a dentist right here on RTH. This Thursday is my periodontist day. I rotate every four months between the dentist and the periodontist.
