valis2Okay, I'm back for just a few minutes...off to the eye doctor next for a new pair of glasses.
So I haven't been to a dentist in fifteen years. No, seriously. Today was my first visit, because I was having some low grade pain across a few of my upper front teeth, and I was certain that I had a cavity there left over from fifteen years ago that I never had filled.
Well, I must have had it filled, because there isn't anything wrong there.
In fact, I have NO CAVITIES AT ALL. They think the difficulty with my front teeth is due to a bite issue.
I am absolutely flabbergasted.
They did a cleaning, and the hygienist said that it wasn't bad at all. The only problem was that my fillings are old, and they're starting to show it. A piece of one had broken off at the edge, so they fixed that, filed my teeth a little to fix my bite, and that was that.
$500 later I'm home and so relieved. You can't even imagine. I've been lying awake at night and worrying about this for YEARS.
I could cry, I'm so happy. Oh, but I can't, I'm about to get my vision tested. Heh.
