Yes they did do an exam first and an x ray.

My insurance covers all cleaning, fillings, extractions and a temporary crown. However the dentist said those do not last long because they are not made from a mold of your tetth, like a real crown would be.

Well I just spoke to one lady who said I didn't have an appointment next month (hmm. I have it written down in my book) and then told me to call the appointment line. Well they are ALWAYS busy. They never answer their phones, ever!

So they stop answering calls at 4 which means I need to get back offline and leave a message and hopefully they will call me back before 4. Wish me luck, apparently I need it.
