No root canal for me. It wasn't good from the get go, like it wasn't explained that the crown was a separate produedure which at this point isn't covered by my insurance because the root canal will max out my benefits.

And there is bone loss down to the gumline which would be - 2 appointments for the root canal, an procedure to build up the bone and then the crown. And this was being clarified while my face was being numbed for novicaine adn I saw the needle and pretty much freaked out. So the endodontist was very nice and said at this point for a variety of factors pulling the tooth is the best option. Actually he called and consulted with the dentist.

The dentist called an oral surgeon and even though I EXPLICITLY stated that I COULD NOT get my tooth pulled with novicaine alone the oral surgeon's office was not told that by the dentist office. So tomorrow I'm getting the tooth pulle,d they'll give me a Valium, they'll give me nitrious, they'll give me novicaine and then remove the tooth either by pulling or some other method. I don't know.

Then I will hae my teeth actually cleaned and I'm finding another detnist. I'm insisting on a full mouth set of x rays and a plan to take care of any cavitity found.

This dentist and his staff are nice BUT There's been a huge lack of communication about expecations and costs.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm glad that you're able to get all this taken care of, askye, even though it's a such a stress and huge pain in the ass. Well, mouth.

It's just frustrating because it feels like everytime I try to get it taken care of another stumbling block happens or something wasn't explained clearly.

Like no one said - you'll go have hte root canal and then come back to the dentist for the crown. By the time you get the root canal your dental benefits will be maxed out and the crown will cost $X. And hte dentist knew the hole for the cavity was down to the gum so he had to have known he would have had to build it up for the crown. So why not tell me that? I think I annoyed the lady at the oral surgeon's office because Ikept asking questions but I didn't want surprises.

PArt of me just never wants to go to the dentist agian but not going to the dentist is what got me in this mess.

Will took the day off and so we're going to go see Fury and then later I will play Borderlands the Pre Sequel because there is something very satifisying about running around as an annoying robot killing things.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ugh, askye. I feel you. Dental issues are so frustrating, and a lot of offices don't communicate well. And I switched dentists in part because of how badly my previous office handled one of my root canals (basically accusing me of being drug-seeking because I asked for painkillers after the root canal). (They did a lot of other shitty stuff, too, including leaving an infected root in my mouth, so they can die in all the fires.) (Tim's nephew just started college here at U. Cincy, and he lives a block from my old dentist, and I told him to NEVER go there unless it's a legit, you-will-die-if-you-don't-go-NOW emergency.)

Having gone through the root canal/bone graft/crown routine and losing the tooth anyway, I'm going with pulling the tooth and getting an implant next time around.

I'm batting .500 in root canals -- one is still in my head, with its crown, but the other is the one where the tooth was cracked after the root canal (and where the endodontist left in an infected root), so it got pulled. I haven't decided what I'll do in the future if I ever need another root canal. I actually trust the dentist I have now, so I'll probably go with his recommendation. But I'm hoping no more root canals, period.

Okay, I am headed out for the photo shoot. I do love that they say to not style your hair or wear makeup, so all my lazy ass has to do is brush my teeth and comb my hair and go.

(I really AM feral.)

I am so sick of having moments of actually feeling good and enjoying life and then having my subconscious go "No! Life is woe and grief! How dare you enjoy things!"

Our wings are not tired.

How dare you enjoy things!

Gives stern look to the part of your brain that says not to enjoy. Everyone that loves you, here or gone, wants you to have a full and happy life. Celebrate and be grateful when you catch yourself having good moments.

My sisters! Feral or not! I never wear makeup, don't even own any, but I do love my shiny nails. If I lived somewhere that wasn't hot and humid I might consider makeup (probably not), but I just can't imagine not being able to take a cool cloth at any moment and wiping my face. There is rarely a day I don't take a paper towel or napkin to pat off sweat from my face.
