Thanks, I really hope so. I was spoiled rotten in CT with my family dentist who was really good and never tried to make me do anything unnecessary. I hate the new dentist heebie jeebies. The last dentist gave me fillings. Do. Not. Want.

I have GOT to find a dentist. It's becoming a necessity. I'm really hoping that the last dentist I tried is finally accepting my insurance. They said they hoped to soon. I hope six months is long enough. I'm starting to get concerned about the state of my teeth.
Wow. That felt important to share. But, really? Not.
I got our dental insurance cards and this reminds me that I need to make dental appointments. For me and the kids. But first I have to make doctors' appointments. I'm due for a full battery of womanly tests. Overdue, in fact.
I've been seeing a dentist twice a year for the last 7-ish years. That was after not seeing a dentist for I don't know, 10-15 years.
I think I'm at the point where some fillings I had when I was 10 will need to be redone....
After not seeing the dentist for 15 yrs - followed by seeing the dentist 4x a year , I seem to be down to 3x a year. concerns about dental health - important.
What a lazy day. on and off really cold rain. even mr. energy ( also known as DH) isn't doing much--
eee!

It's cold and cloudy here. Very low energy. The lack of power isn't helping since ND and I are essentially sitting around in the dark.
Dentist seems okay. She did a good job fixing that front tooth (teeny tiny chip is gone). Real test will be on the 4th when she does the full x-ray and exam and makes recommendations.
She did chastise me for not wearing my nightguard, but the thing is so freaking uncomfortable. We hates the nightguard, precious. She said she will take a look at it to see if she can make it better, but I have a horrible feeling that I'm going to end up shelling out another $300+ for a better one. I opted for the glorified sportsguard soft one at the last dentist because the nicer one was nearly $500 (!!!), but I just can't wear it.
Kristin I bought a night guard for $25 at a drug store. It's not terribly comfortable but I was able to trim off the pointy edges and it doesn't bother me much now. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it. You have to boil it and shape it to your teeth but it might be worth trying before you invest in a new one.
Laga, that's basically what I have now, just a lot more expensive and probably a little less comfortable. If I have to use it, I'll stick with the ridiculously expensive soft one out of guilt, but I hate it.
I used to wear the ones you have for field hockey. Definitely can't sleep in them, alas. I have a very small jaw, so the plastic really bothers me.
