get all my dental work done

Hooray! That didn’t hurt a bit.
Well, just a teeny bit.

That’s what I get for flossing. The dentist wants me to come in tomorrow to have them re-cemented. I don’t want to.

Can’t I make it until next Tuesday (when the permanent crowns will be ready) by chewing only on the right side of my mouth?

I’m stiw tawking funny, untiw the novocaine weaws off.

required to complete my crowns. Then there’s just one more appointment later this month, and all my dental work will be done!

And my appointment is in January. Let’s all just cross our fingers that something bad doesn’t happen before then.

No new cavities, yay!

Then I’ll get my crowns in January, and I can finally mark this goal complete!

Money to pay what’s not covered by insurance: um…

I made the appointment for January so I can put the amounts not covered on next years’ flex health spending plan.

And it really was painless. They used that crazy new thing that’s like a little sandblaster to remove the decay—they don’t even have to give you novocaine!

And they were nice enough to give me a discount since I don’t have insurance. Yay! I really do like this dentist.

Now all that remains are the two crowns, which will happen when I get a cushy job with good dental, or start my own fantastically successful business.

August 14

then I shouldn’t hold my breath that I’ll have a permanent job with fabulous dental benefits by the end of the year. Must schedule an appointment ASAP at least to get the 2 fillings I need. I may wait a little longer on the crowns.
