Went to a Dentist

[dcseain]

So, tomorrow, at 15:00 (GMT-4) i'm going to have a root canal and temporary crown on a molar.

Two extractions and bone graft and posts and crowns for two other molars are in the offing, though before that happens, two other molars need to be trimmed and capped.

A few cavities, and a deep cleaning in the short term.

That's that. No gum disease at all, which is good news, considering that aside from brushing and flossing, i've neglected dental care since 1986.

Wow. That's a lot to have done. Good luck with the root canals and crowns. Oh, and the rest too, it's just that the root canal and crown things are all I have experience with.

We'll pray for you. :-)

No, Ideal Dental Solutions in Mclean (Tysons Corner), which i selected at the intersection of what's on me insurance and who had exellent reviews on Angie's List. But, i am taking care of things, which is a good thing.

Aiee. scaryscaryscary. Kudos on you for going - the longer it is the scarier it seems, which makes it harder to get 'round to doing, which makes it a longer time, and hence scarier.

:bright thoughts for this afternoon:

[and, if you're willing, a request that you join the people nagging me to break the scariness cycle myself]
