and gets the CRAP beat out of her gums! Yeah, ok I deserved it. I don't take nearly as good care of my teeth as I should and ok, yeah I haven't had an in-office cleaning since 2000. Mix this with the genetic lottery number I pulled (which includes great intelligence, naturally good skin and hair, a penchant for rich foods with a comparatively small metabolism and extremely high maintenance teeth) and I shouldn't expect anything less.
Lucky me I get to have a crown that's already been drilled through for a re-root canal replaced and two other crowns put in. YAY!
When I start to think about how much money has been spent on my teeth over the years what with the pediatric cavities, braces, wisdom teeth extraction alone I start to get a bit woozy. Or maybe that's the killer pain meds the dentist prescribed for me.
The good news is I think we've finally found an acceptable dentist in the state of New Mexico. He seemed hyper-aware of my low pain threshold and was equally appalled when I told him about the dentist in Santa Fe that told me to drink a bottle of wine rather than prescribe pills when I complained about tooth pain from his last filling. This new guys' hygienists were very nice (considering what they had to do) and his bill wasn't completely outrageous, well, for what all is going on. So anyone in Albuquerque that needs a new dentist I TOTALLY recommend Dr. Tom Heflin.
In other news I added a few things to the etsy shop.
