back from the dentist.....

Hey Bro it is cool, it was comforting knowing you were there lol

Yes well i had to fill in the usual form being a new patient with all my medical history etc, one question was would you like your teeth whiter, so i answered yes, i was not blessed with white teeth, more the cream tonings,big mistake , she spent about ten mins explaining all about it and adding it in my quote, well at over 1300 dollars, i am just not interested, i pretended i was listening, when in actual fact i had switched off when i saw the price, little does she know i am struggling to find the finances to get the much needed treatment.

Well i gave myself a months grace, we only have one store card, it is a shop called Farmers here, and they accept that, so i put it on there, will pay it all off next month as to avoid any interest, then i guess it is hubbys bonus which has not come yet, but due soon and the savings for the heat pump, bye bye.

It is about time Dentistry was government subsidized as for the average joe it just is not affordable,sadly our health insurance does not cover that, we could not afford the more expensive cover, only have surgical cover for operations,honestly at the moment i feel like getting the whole lot pulled and getting dentures, i am so sick of ongoing treatment, especially as i take care of my teeth meticulously,but i know that would be plain dumb on my part.

Well let's hope the saliva test is not a waste of money, and i can get some preventative measures in place as to avoid all of this.

I am also told that the original root canal i had done on this particular tooth, should have been done to the very end,and was not,but luckily everything is ok there, thank goodness.

I will have to get the treatment one month at a time to afford it,be better to get it all done at once, but that is how it is, be less stressful for me, she said i could have water laser treatment on the small decayed teeth, but would need these rubber bands and something else that can be quite uncomfortable, she recommended a local, eek i hate those things, so much, but at least she said she puts numbing cream on first, never had that before, so hope that is better.

Right now i just want to hop into bed for a sleep and forget about all of it.
