Hello Dentist
As of today, I have a new dentist who’s right up the street from me – right by where I rent my videos, do my banking and sometimes buy groceries. What’s his name? I dunno. What’s the reason I have a new dentist?
Well at the fabulous movie last night, whilst eating a shitload of popcorn, a tooth I’d had filled about 20 or 30 years ago, decided to go bye-bye. Not the filling, no, that’s very sturdy, but the outside of the tooth.
Now this is about the third tooth that’s done this in the past 6 months. Know why? Because I grind my teeth like crazy every single night. Every stinking night since I was a kid, I’ve been grinding my teeth.
Now you know how I handle stress so well; why I always seem so calm (well, mostly). My outlet is teeth grinding.
So today I was a little worried about the now toothless tooth and went to see Mr. Russian Dentist. It cost me $50 for x-rays and a little bit of time for me to accustomize myself to what Mr. Russian Dentist was saying with his Russian accent.
Bottom line is that I am now scheduled for a root canal on Monday, after which I will have to have a crown put upon that tooth.
The root canal is going to cost me $700-$800 with the crown costing the same, so for now I’m just getting the root canal, and hopefully when I get a job I’ll get the crown.
Hello unemployed broad. Is there some way I can convince you to max up your credit cards again now that you’re not working? How about having some delicious movie theatre popcorn that is willing and capable of splitting your teeth apart?
This root canal doesn’t address the other tooth that broke off a few months ago, and now part of the filling has broken off too. My dentist downtown told me that one would cost me $2000.
Not only would I happily accept employment to afford me to pay for my teeth, but a job with a dental plan would really be good.
Monday’s the day – 3:30 in the afternoon. Please, no pain.

THat does not sound fun. I wish you the best and the very little amount of pain.
