Over the holidays I broke off part of a tooth eating popcorn…of course.
So I had to go to the dentist. And I need to get a crown.
When I was much younger I had my fair share of cavities that fill my teeth but over the past thirty-plus years I haven’t had a new cavity – only repair work.
I do like to get my teeth cleaned twice a year. I would get them cleaned more often if I could, but insurance only covers twice a year.
But other dental work…no, thank you.
So I leaned back in the chair while my dentist worked on my temporary crown and had to listen to the on-going drilling sound. I’m not sure there is any sound worse than the dentist’s drill. Thankfully I don’t have to hear it very often.
I’m sorry, Valerie. You’re right, this is not fun. I hope the procedure went well and that you can stay out of the dentist’s chair for everything except routine exams and cleaning. I’m glad you have good dental insurance. I don’t have any and those twice-a-year visits get costly.
Ah, yes. I have had good dental insurance. Soon I’ll be on medicare and dental work is not covered.
In Norway you have to pay to go to the dentist and it is expensive too…. I hate going to the dentist, get so nervous and then have to pay all that money for something that nobody can see🙄 hehe but of course we have to go get our teeth checked because we do not want to loose them either😜
That’s true. It’s amazing how important healthy teeth are to our overall health.
