The 2012 Dentistry Debacle ..........WEEK 7 AND 8

I'm not too sure I owe anybody reading this an apology for the wait, so you aren't getting one:)


Work performed

The big news is after the 9th of April, my mouth will no longer be filled with decay, that's when teeth start getting put back in instead of coming out:):(

So week 7 went like this;

Total Bill

$1224 ...... Running total $8051 .......ONE week, just ONE week without a bill over $1000!

Work performed

2 Prefabricated retentive posts($280 total)
3 Tooth coloured restorations($944)

Time for a some scaling....shouldn't it be called DEscaling?

........................................................................................................................

WEEK 7.5 ...................The hygienist........bmm bmm bmm!

Although I think this is something of a scam, the Dentist wanted it done before the next weeks fillings. Most of the work was done cleaning the front 7-8 teeth and prepping them for the work to come....what was slightly unexpected was the comment the hygienist made "Wow, I've never seen teeth this eaten away", and of course her reaction of pure understanding about my tooth condition when I mentioned my old 8-10 2 litres a week pop habit.......................Down to just over 3 a week now........Trying to get it further, I've found a good tasting carbonated water from Loblaws, but so far most stores don't carry it yet....oh well.

I'm NOT including this in my total dental work, and though it will be a separate line in FINAL total

This bill was Scaling, 4 units $216! I did get a few freebies though, another toothbrush among my haul:)

I will say that I would go weekly if all the workers were as cool as she is, cute small brunette, friendly .... it wasn't a chore going to see her!
