Not that you guys really need to know, but after 18 years without a dentist appointment, no cavities! The crazy thing is that I have never had one. I don't know why, but I never have. What I do have is a ton of tartar, which I guess shouldn't really come as a surprise. With that comes bacteria, and gum disease. I have some bone loss, but the dr seems to think that things will be ok once I have the deep cleaning, and start using a waterpik in addition to the brushing, and flossing. How much is this whole thing going to cost me?? Almost $1400.
I'm going to have to finance this, because I just don't have it. The downside is that I need somebody to drive me there, and wait with me while I go through almost 3 hours of cleaning. Then they get to take me home, and somebody has to stay with me that night. (I'm pretty sure Amy won't really mind that part.) Its the drag my sedated ass to the office at 7:30am, and wait, and then take me home part that will suck for them.
I know I have to do it, and the sooner the better.
