Some of you ahve followed my dental journey this winter and many of you villified me for neglecting my teeth. I have an appointment tomorrow at 11am to fix the crap they did to me for $900 and now I have pain, can not floss and one of my teeth is turning black. This is all due to one chipped tooth that never caused me pain, I never had cold sensation, just had to use a toothpick as food got stuck in the chipped part. Since spending $900 on a root canal and cavity on one side of my mouth I now have cold sensation, can not floss, and the tooth next to the root canal has turned a dark brown. The brown I have been told is from amalgalm during the root canal and is normal and I am sure that for another $400 i can crown the tooth next to the crown and have all white teeth. However since I never anticipated this or was warned about it I will do nothing unless it is done for free.

Now what do I do? The doc told me a crown on the other side of my mouth needs replaced. Again, it causes me no pain, no cold sensation, and is now the only side of my mouth I can eat comfortably on after spending $900 on the other side.
My new rule is basically going back to my old rule. If it hurts fix it, if it ain;t broke leave it alone.
I have spent way too much time sitting in a dental chair and way too much money to have pain where there never was pain before. I should have pulled the chipped tooth and lived with it. The I could ahve ahd my mammogram instead of waiting til fall.

Anybody else by the way ever heard of a root canal causing the tooth next to it to turn brown?

YOU could save money getting treatment at a dental school.

They took care of the problem for free. However I did waste another hour at the office. This problem should have been taken care of the day of the fillings. Although I should have also insisted I not walk out until it was perfect. I knew I had residue on the front tooth but the girl told me well I think we got it, but if it drives you nuts just come back. Well that is great since I don;t work, but what if I had to take off work to go back? The flossing issue I would not have known about at the time especially with the novacaine. Again do it right the first time or you have to do it again for free. All and all still a great dental practice. I like that they seem to care about me and even ask after my hubby.

Maybe we can kick in towards her deductible so we don't have to hear about it.

Do we need to make you an honorary member of the Mean Girls Club?

Or, rather, the Sadist Club. You KNOW what this thread is about, it's not like she took over some other thread (which I know she does), but there's no mistaking it here and, yet, WHY ARE YOU HERE, other than to gripe?

now i'm a bit confused about this, since you always say that you work....

And why are you here other than to show your holier-than-thou attitude? You say you are above such things yet you follow people around this board with the express purpose of telling them they shouldn't be here. There is a name for people like you!

Since you failed to comment on the topic, I guess you're here for the same reason.

I am here purely for the entertainment value, and what drew me here was seeing that you had posted on this thread. Thanks for not disappointing!!!

I am also, here, this time, to correct my earlier post. I think I had in mind the Gyne de Sade reference in another pml thread. What I should have called it was the Masochist Club, not the Sadist. Confused my S and M. Hate it when that happens.

When's your next gynocological visit? I look forward to a recap of that.

Remember I skipped it this year to pay the $900 for dental work. Hey so far nothing wrong down there but you have to be able to chew food although I guess not if on chemo Anyway won;t be going there for a while, probably December or January since my deductible is annual and if I go in December and somethingis wrong I pay $5000 and then another $5000 in January. However if I go in January and something is wrong I will pay $5000 and then meet my deductible for the whole of 2010. This is how people who are self insured plan out their doc visits. I am certainly not the only one. I know another self insured who put a colonoscopy off for a year because of deductible.


My point with this thread is when you pay $900 you would think it would be perfect the first time and not have to waste time going back to fix what they missed. Again the same hygenist took part in both visits I was unhappy with so from now on I wll only schedule appointments with certain hygenists. I know you guys are not interested. You just want to learn how to quit smoking and talk about how some on here have quit and how happy they are blah blah blah.

Since I know smoking is not the only issue with health I try to make good recomendations when I am treated well and warn you when I am treated badly. Since I am very fussy, when I say a practice is good you can take it to the bank. But you all don;t care. Only care about stopping me from smoking while taking my money for your kids. Well if I do get cervical cancer or breast cancer this year it will bet the fault of the govt and the anti smoking movement that have made people have to choose between smoking and healthcare. Or groceries and cigarettes while cocain and heroine addicts since they are on medicaid get all their pap smears for free. Too bad their hearts will explode or they will end up in jail or with aids from selling their bodies for their untaxed realtively cheap drug. I wish I loved cocaine because right now it is cheaper than cigs and still gives you that boost. Plus if I got addicted you all could pay me every month on disability
