Procrastinate
Why do I procrastinate about things? I’ve done it for a long time, so I’m really good at it. I’m going to the dentist today so I can have a molar worked on. That same tooth had a cavity that was filled back in July. I’ve been having problems with it since then. What do I do? Wait. Maybe it will get better on its on. The dentist said to give it a little time.
Maybe get it worked on once and for all, and then get it crowned. It’s a molar, so choosing between silver, gold, whatever other metal they may offer, and pearly white shouldn’t be too bad. I would always opt for the pearly white, but the price of that is sky high over the others where I live in Missouri. Wonder why…that’s probably what most people want..something that blends in. I certainly would, as far as my teeth are concerned if you have the money or insurance for it. Back before I had good insurance it was the silver colored stuff for two of my molars!
Woot! Went to the dentist and it wasn’t nearly so bad as I’d feared. The doc said the filling needed some adjusting. The bite wasn’t right. Now what you have to bear in mind is that I can push on that tooth w/ my finger and it feels like somebody has punched me. So the doc brings out the grinder and starts away on my tooth. Wow! That hurt. The Doc said the tooth/gum/whatever is inflamed and told me to take Aleive for next however long.
So, today, Aleive and tooth grinding seem to have worked. Time will tell.
Yay, over the counter medication! You should have worked it and gotten some decent drugs, at least…
