chezmaxWow, I had the awesomest dental appointment ever yesterday. Yes, I know that seems like an oxymoron, but really, it was great!
I woke up Friday to discover that one of my tooth (or fillings?) had chipped or cracked, and I had a delightful sharp edge right between my two front teeth, which I couldn't keep my tongue away from. So my tongue was slowly getting cut up. It was mostly just annoying.
I called my dentist Friday morning and left a message (they're closed on Fridays) that my teeth were unhappy. They called me back on Monday at 8 am, and offered me an appointment *right then*. I turned them down, cause I didn't have access to a car, and by the time I walked or bussed down, the window of opportunity would be gone. So they scheduled me an appointment after work yesterday.
So, I went in, and the dentist stuck a mirror in my mouth, and said, "Hmm. This might not even require freezing to fix. Shall I try?" and I was like, "SURE!", cause really, I hate having my face frozen for four hours, especially before dinner. (Although I ate something before going in just in case...). Anyways, he started drilling out between my teeth and it didn't hurt at all, and pushed some stuff into my mouth, and less than 5 minutes later, he had the UV light in my mouth curing my new filling. Damn he's fast!
The whole ordeal took less than 20 minutes, including waiting for the dentist and paying. Out of pocket expense after insurance: $10. And just to make a good day better, the timing was such that I had to wait no longer than a minute for the bus to take me home.
Time was totally on my side yesterday.
