chase is getting a root canal right at this very moment. everyone's teefs need to stop being lame.

[butcherbaby]

must be root canal season ;-)

i need to get my lame teeth fixed soon too. maybe this dentist can fix my worn out upper incisors without charging me an arm and a leg! i'm so tired of being told it's 'cosmetic'. do they have to be broken nubs before it becomes a 'real' problem?

[machina]

do you have dental insurance?

[butcherbaby]

yup, through ethan's work. and it's a great plan- we don't have to pay for anything- thank you united steelworkers union!
the problem is with my two top incisors- i ruined the enamel from years of sucking on lemons, and now they are hideously worn down, as well as chipped from a long ago car accident. every time i have had some form of dental insurance, i am always told that the damage is 'cosmetic only' and not covered, and that i need to pay for veneers or fillings out of pocket...and it is NOT CHEAP. cosmetic MY ASS- the surfaces of those teeth are CONCAVE, almost down to the dentin, and the edges are so thin they continually chip. i always wonder how bad it would have to be for them to consider it 'essential'.

ack those fuckers. do you have pain when you eat because of it?

[butcherbaby]

occasionally.....mebbe if i tell them i DO, they'll fix it?

[machina]

seriously it sucks to lie but sometimes you really gotta rub it in to get what you want. you have to be your own advocate and if they aren't going to help you you gotta take drastic measures. tell them you are in excruciating amounts of pain! do what you gotta do! good luck.
