rant on teeth and dentists and health coverage !
Argh, does anyone hate the dentist as much as me? I have to call in a couple of minutes and make an appointment. Hopefully for today so I can get my butt on an antibiotic before I leave for the weekend. I don't want to end up with a swollen jaw tomorrow and have to stay home. I have always had such terrible teeth. I blame it on my medical problems and all those drugs they gave me as a child. Not to mention the medical problems my mother had when she was pregnant with me and taking all those heart medicines. Probably why I had kidney problems when I was born.
Anyways, I wake up every nite with pain because I just can't keep myself from biting down on that sore tooth. It needs pulled or a root canal. I say pull it since I can never afford the damn crowns anyways. I already have two other teeth with the temp. fillings still in because I can't get the crowns. I tell you, I have great insurance for the procedure but the crown is considered cosmetic ! ARghhhhhhh, yet without it you risk infection and having it pulled which is covered BTW. Stupid.
At any rate, I will call and see what is in store for me today. Hopefully just an antibiotic, but if necessary I will have whatever I need if they can get me in today. Which I doubt, so antibiotic and ibuprophen should help.
Thats it. I'm done bitchin'.
Hugs,
Aly
