More Dental Work - YUCK!

Yesterday, I went for another dental visit to continue the work being done on the two damaged teeth I had due to a malfunctioning crown. It was horrible. I was in so much pain that I was attempting to hold the doctor's hands while she was working. It wasn't pretty to say the least. I wish I could just run away to someplace far, maybe Austin, Texas, LOL! I could get a job there, couldn't I. I know, I can't run away. The reason I said Austin was because I just saw a website about Austin resumes. Anyway, I have two more serious dental office visits to go before I can go back to regular every-six-months cleanings.

Not only is all of this work hurting my mouth, but it's also hurting my pocket. Even with dental insurance, I'm paying over $1,500 for everything. I need another job just to cover these office visits. The thing is that I haven't been to a dentist in 18 months and guess what! I'm paying for it.

I heard someone say once that the way you treat your body is visible in your teeth. I've got lots of fillings and now, two caps. What does that say about me? I'm not treating myself right or haven't been. Are you in the same boat? Well, don't fret, you're not alone. I have been making better eating choices over the last few days, what with my teeth hurting and all. I haven't been able to eat what I want and the stuff I do eat has to be eaten slowly.
