a quick fix

I went to the dentist this morning for what they called an emergency appointment. Well during this little appointment I felt like a lab rat. They had two new assistants in training. I was the one that they got to practice on. They took at least 30 x-rays because they couldn't get the right angle ( if I get stuck with the bill for all of those I am going to let somebody have it). Finally the dentist came in and looked at my broken tooth and told me that they were going to try to do an over lay, which is basically re-filling the cavity with a new and different kind of filling. It was that or a crown. Either way it is really expensive, and the worst part is that they told me that I have to wait to do it at another visit! So I asked what the earliest open appointment was so that I could just get this whole thing over with and they said that I could come in tomorrow morning and they would do it. So as of right this second I am banned from chewing on my right back teeth, just in case. I thought that having the poky edges of the missing cavity was bad, but now to have to make an effort to not get any food back there, that is kind of tricky.

So tomorrow morning is the scheduled date to get my tooth fixed, but with my luck who knows what will really happen. So stick around if you want to hear the end. At least I hope that it will be the end.
