Dental Update

Well, my dreaded morning came and went. It's over, but not really, just prolonged. Things went fine, so they tell me. But I beg to differ. I have a small cavity forming under a filling and some bonding is needed at the base of the same tooth to cover/protect the exposed nerve. In addition to all that fun stuff I also have to have a deep cleaning. See? Fun stuff I tell ya.

So, I left the office with yet another appointment. I had a feeling that would happen. The dentist doesn't like people to leave without getting a commitment of some kind for a return trip.

The good news is that the bad news isn't terrible news. And all that needs to be done can be done in one visit that will endure take an hour.

Overall I suppose my time in the torture dental office wasn't so bad. But a visit, for me, is never complete with out at least two tissues and a good cry in front of people I've never met. Now I have another four weeks to gear up for the next one. Yeah. Can't wait.

I'm glad your day came and went. I wonder what God could teach you through this traumatic experience. Hopefully something really useful.

Oh, I'm the same way at the dentist. Every single one of my teeth is filled drilled or fake! ;) Just kidding! Speaking of which...I'm overdue for a dr. appointment!
