Well, I went to the dentist today and i tell you i had the worst time in my life. I didnt expect this, especially from a doctor, but i got what i expect anymore!!! I am not surprised. I had the worst time in my life and I am still crying on the inside, even though i tried to let it out in the pizza hut near the office. oh man, i tell you.. and it's not even involving the surgery yet!!!! yeah, they want me to get 3 fillings.. even though i only have minor decay with what he seen because the xrays shown nothing!! then to top it off, they want to take out my silver filling because it's apparenly got decay around it, then pour resin.. resin. it's what all doctors think now!! why? why did i get a cavity filled and now i have to remove it and do it over again? it doesnt make sense. sure decay is caused by me not taking care of my teeth over time.. true i deserve whatever operation i get, but why take out an apparent filling because it did not do the job the first time? then replace it with plastic? what the hell? i dont give a shit if my teeth are fucking gold!!!! i just want what i have to fix. i dont care about apparences. sheesh.
i tell you, it didnt stop there. the nurse was downright rude to me. as the doctor explained to me that i grind my teeth, AGAIN.. because i knew this.. i wonder why i grind my teeth?!! i do it because these people continue to stress me out. so why not take it out on my body, right? oh man, i am crying so much on the inside right now, the tears are coming forward..
i am so sick of the way i was treated first and foremost. the assistant jumps in as i was explaining that guards were not covered by the insurance, she jumps in that it is.. which is good! i need it, so i have to think about it. but i could not even afford the coverage right now! 200 dollars. i need tires! i need brakes, i need to get my skin checked.. i am scared.. i am just about everything. no wonder i grind my teeth!!! i cant get over the way she got upset because i told her that my doctor told me 5 years ago to get the guard because my teeth will get worse..
i know. i know.. i know. i was just telling her that i know, and she just got mad at me.
at me? why get mad at me? i was just stating the obvious. and of course she kept bellowing, if you dont get it fixed now it will cost you more later.. i know.. i know.. I KNOW!!!!!! i know. i know. i have no problem with any of it, but i dont have the money! i keep on the stress things over this. and all they can do is not only play doctor, but play councillor as well. and not in a good way. pure evil. i was so stunned. i did not know what to do. i need to get this done, but to tell you the truth, i am going to ask my coverage if i can just get a second opinion and go somewhere elese. i just dont want anyone that nasty to me treat my teeth. she was not the only one who was obligerant. the dentist was too. i was so horrified on how they continue to treat me like a number. again, no wonder i grind my teeth
well, i got a cheapie mouth guard at target. i dont think it will work. i tried to shape it, but it falls around, and i think it will either come out or i will swallow it. so that scares me. i will have to give it a try till i get to another dentist.. i just dont know. was i wrong? maybe i was just too nervous and jumped to the wrong conclusions. but i was just scared, and was not going to be intimadated. you know?
i dont know myself. maybe i am making too much out of it, but i tell you.. i do need to get this grinding fixed. it is horrible. i know the doctors to be right, after all, he was the second opinion, and well.. my teeth have become so small that they are disappearing. so i know this is a problem. but .. well.. i just dont know.
what do i do? lord i need help. i reallly.. realllly need help.
