Bad News from the Dentist

I had my annual check up today and unfortunately, got bad news from the dentist. The tooth that was hurting, would need a crown. I guess I wasn’t surprised, but we didn’t get dental insurance to pay for a crown this year. Even if we had, it wouldn’t have saved us much money.  I don’t think that the cost bothered me as much of the fact that I am so tired of all the issues I have with my teeth.

While I was there, the dentist also told me that the tooth above it would need a crown at some point in the near future because the two fillings in it did not match. To say that I was disappointed was an understatement. I take really good care of my teeth, but they break and chip easily. I wish it wasn’t the case, but some type of genetics must be involved as my mom and dad have both had issues with their own teeth. Hopefully, my children do not inherit this trait as it has made for a lot of mouth pain and a lot of expensive visits to the dentist. I guess for now I’ll just be happy that there weren’t more issues.
