Maybe Snicker's should come with a warning label. I was chewing one when on the road, far from my dentist, and lost a cap. I saved the cap. No I removed it from the fresh Snickers in my mouth not the recycled Snickers in another location. By the time I got home I realized there was no hurry to get to the dentist. I still have the cap in my briefcase. That was 4 years ago.
Good morning posters and I hope that you all had a lovely weekend.
My peeve for today is, thank goodness, one which hasn't affected me for quite a while and I hope that the same goes for you.
Today's peeve is;
When you suddenly develop dental problems.
Mine started suddenly, one cavity after another. And since I dont have medical insurance I dont go to the dentist till they get so painfully bad they end up having to pull it. But pulling is relatively less expensive than having to get fillings or root canals. I still have a temporary cap from 10 years ago because they want 1500.00 just to put a little crown on a tooth! Needless to say, Ive had 4 molars/wisdom teeth pulled over the past 10 years....
Oh yes, that is what is happening now. My mouth doesn't feel that great and possibly need root canal.
The dentist isn't too sure about root canal but I do need a crown. We're trying to hold off as long as we can until he is sure. The infections isn't showing up on the Xray.
Besides, Christmas day hubby flushed his teeth down the toilet..Long story.
So we are in the process of getting his mouth fixed with plates and bridges....A lot of moola and I I can wait, I'd rather until we get his paid off. Always something.
I am very lucky. Last winter, on a Saturday, part of my gum started to swell. A lot. And it hurt like the dickens. I called my dentist (also a client) and asked if he did Saturday emergencies.
He left his wife shopping () for Christmas presents and met me at his office. He drained the gum, wrote a script for penicillin and sent me home.
That is a good dentist!
