Went To The Dentist Today
Ughhh I went to the dentist today and one of my molars which has a big feeling already has a crack in it. She wanted me to have a buildup and a crown which was right at $600.00 bucks. I told her no way pull it. She said well we could re-fill it but it will probably break the tooth off in a couple of months. Now why would I spend the money on filling it then. I told her I couldn’t afford the crown just pull it and she was going to do that but then stated well I think you need to go to an oral surgeon. Sheeeeeesh Doc what part of below poverty level do you NOT understand?? That is all but $200.00 of what I make a month. So I came home with my x-rays in hand and called the oral surgeon to have a tooth (molar) extracted it is $168.00 if I stay awake and over $300.00 if they put me out. I told them I reckon I would stay awake then. They are going to do this on Monday…I HATE Dentist appointments. This will be the first tooth I have ever had pulled by a Dentist. I had my 4 wisdom teeth cut out but I was totally OUT. Kerry said he would "front me the money for the crown", but there is NO way I want to owe him or anyone else money. I even hate it if I owe someone $2.00 much less $600 bucks. He is like you will need that it is a molar to chew with I said I have 2 others back there and another whole side. He said your teeth will shift…I stated so there is NOTHING I can do about it. I know it was sweet of him but I can not accept a loan from anyone on the amount of money I bring home a month. What if something major happened again and I needed the money and didn’t have it because I was paying him back because of a stupid tooth when I have a mouth full. Sorry I am just rambling because it is so upsetting. Arghhhhhh …anyways, everything else is going ok. sorry again for the rambling on
Hugssssss to all

I’m glad that we have the N.H.S. but so many dentista are going private now and are so much more expensive. Hope it goes well!
