First off...Happy Thanksgiving! I have to say I am a very blessed woman. I have many people who love me. I hope you all are seeing all the things to be grateful for. Big and small. Like yesterday.
I went to a new dentist that was in my opinion, the best dentist I have ever had work on me. Ever! And I have had a lot of work done on me.
I never felt the the needle for the Novocaine. I never felt anything.
The Lad reminded me that if dentists did today what they did to me as a child, they would go to jail. That they have way better tools than they did back then. And more options to saving a tooth. He was absolutely right. And THAT gave me comfort.
I had a molar pulled yesterday. The last time I went to the dentist they wanted to pull it. It was still good, so I said no. This time it was ready. It took one stitch.
He also put a quick fix on the broken tooth to stop it from hurting so bad. But it is only temporary. I now have two choices. Pay $1700 for a root canal and a crown...or $200 to pull it, then deal with the space. We shall see. I have offers to help. Maybe I will make up a basket of goodies to take to the dental office and see what happens.
Again...I would like to say Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family. I love having you all in my life.
