So Daisy and I went in for fillings yesterday. It went pretty well I suppose. I mean, getting a filling pretty much sucks, but it went as well as can be expected. Daisy was a trooper and managed through this- her first filling. If I know her, she is going to up the brushing about 150% in order to avoid it again in the future though. They re-did the sealants on all of her non-decayed molars, so that will help a lot. Wish I had those. My back teeth are positively rich with silver. And Monday? At 9 am? When I go BACK to Barstow and Dr. Magpayo's Gentle Dentristry Clinic? I get to have a shiny new crown put on one of those babies.
A three-hundred-and-thirty-three-dollar crown. An absolute bargain at half-price after insurance. Hooray! I am sure I will feel just like a fairy princess (or at least the tooth fairy?) with my shiny new crown. I sure hope so, 'cuz I think it's all I'm getting for our anniversary this year (and maybe my birthday too).
Good thing we had already made those cabin reservations before this diagnosis.
Oh my...best of luck with that. I've not been to the Dentist in over a year...it's just so hard to get the time...lol. The time before last, after a three year hiatus, I required a $500 + cleaning. Thankfully, Insurance agreed to pay some of it...so we capped it off with some fillings too and that was a lovely birthday present indeed. Better then false teeth though, right? I sure don't want to wake up to my teeth in a glass every morning. So I best go soon, you've inspired me to think on that more...next three day weekend.
