dentist

So, one more thing before I go off to bed. I had to go to the dentist for the annual cleaning. I've decided our military dental is whack. Apparently anything not falling within the lines of "annual cleaning and 200% necessary -- which nothing can be" involves a co-pay. I found this out as I had to get some fillings. Two fillings to be exact, into pre-cavity forming areas that he couldn't even see without his 50x magnified glasses, but that apparently would only get worse even with constant brushing because the bacteria was already there. It was only the first layer of tooth. Didn't hurt at all. It only took like five minutes for them to drill the hole clean and fill it with tooth colored filler. Still, that's a mean $111.20. Stupid teeth. Of course go figure when I start taking care of them more often, using Listerine and brushing nearly daily, thats when things go downhill. My mom said she got all her cavities at my age due to changing body chemistry. Guess that just means I'll have to drink more milk from now on.
