The reason I did the whitening now was because the crown is one of my front teeth and (as I understand it) whitening doesn't work on crowns (and the whitening changed the shade by a number of degrees). So it was sort of now or never. The whitening I did wasn't at all covered by insurance, but there was a special and it was only $300, which was way less than I thought it would be to have something that lasts a few years. Compared to the $600 I'm putting toward the rest of the work, it seemed like a steal!

Yeah, that makes sense. All my work is on the molars and my smile ain't a Julia Roberts kind. I could give a crap what color they are as long as they are whole and functional.

I had to wait two weeks for my permanent crown, and yeah, the temp hurt.

I had temporary crowns on my back molars twice, and I had no problems with them. I was always careful for the first day or so, but then I woudl kine of forget about them.

Of course, now I am poking one of my problem/fixed teeth and getting an electric twinge, so I'm going to have to deal with that on top of the rightside repairs tomorrow.
I should have never said anything!

Well now I'm super paranoid about eating anything that might break it. The fact that "teeth falling out" was my anxiety dream of choice while younger doesn't help things one bit.

Oh, I know those dreams. Suck.
eta: teeth and the whole fertility bullshit are high on my evolution shitlist.

I will always love billytea for coining "Connecticutie." First abbreviation for Connecticut natives I'd ever heard that didn't sound ridiculous.
I'm not EVEN going to repeat the one I've heard. Possibly not ridiculous, but patently offensive on any number of levels.

How were people's Mondays?
Mine was surprisingly Wednesday like, especially in the afternoon.

Can I assume it adds an extra letter?
