Do I sound like a wimp complaining about my fractured tooth procedure? I've never been afraid to go to dentists, but I really am dreading this procedure. picked up the prescriptions today for antibiotics and pain killers. He said I might have a swollen cheek and maybe black and blue. I really did like this oral surgeon a lot --- very friendly, explained things, encouraging, etc. He is Asian - from Burma I think. My dentist is from Viet Nam, Paul's cardiologist from Holland, internist and diabetes dr from the Philippines. Guess our dr's are a leage of nations. But what I like is that they are all so warm and friendly. Guess that helps take the sting away slightly. Except in the pocketbook. Yesterday's consultation, and panormic ex-rays cost $250- tomorrow $725. And then there's the partial that I'll have to get for the bottom. Wish we had dental insurance. But I guess I really shouldn't complain. What do people do who have medical issues and don't have the money at all to pay for the procedures?
Anyway, think of me at 10:30 tomorrow morning.
