| i'm frustrated and my jaw hurts. not much more that i want to say. other than... after 4 years of dental work (i have a gluttonous love of candy, i know), i don't have to see her for six more months!! for a check up! not a "well, this quadrant of your mouth is so bad, that we'll need to break it into two appointments", but an honest to goodness, "hey let's make sure you didn't mess up my handy work." On a related note, I was in the chair last night getting three fillings removed and redone. They were only going to do one, but since I'm such an awesome patient (i.e. i have a high pain tolerance and don't complain), they decided to do all three. So the old fillings are out and the new filling stuff is in the amalgamator amalgamating (whatever the hell that means), the first new filling is half way done. the power goes out. THE POWER GOES OUT. which means what was put in of the new filling now has to come out, and some gross tasting temporary base thing goes in. by flashlight. and no suction. so for the next half hour i am getting out and in of a chair in a declined position (not just REclined, but in an 45 degree angle with your feet in the air position), so that i can spit into the sink...or drool. But no more! On a sadder note, my boyfriend's mother has better teeth than me. Like, A LOT better. out. |
