I’m happy to let you know that the broken tooth saga is over! I didn’t have the outcome that I had hoped for. Although the tooth was saveable, my insurance company drastically changed their dental benefits and will no longer pay for root canals to be done. So if I wanted to save the tooth and have the root canal and eventual crown done, my out of pocket expenses would have been near the $1,000 mark. Yes, teeth are an extremely important thing, but considering our current expenses, I can’t justify putting that kind of money into ONE tooth. My whole mouth maybe, but not a single tooth. So, within 45 minutes of arriving at the dentists office, I was walking out pain free, and minus a tooth. I came home and took a nice nap and slept off the last of the novacaine effects, which was a REALLY nice thing to sleep off!!
Tomorrow is going to be a quiet day, and hopefully I get to sleep in a bit. But for tonight, I need to get my toosh to sleep! Have a good night and I’ll catch up with you tomorrow!
