Default Got a Root Canal today

Yep, got my first root canal today. It wasn't all that bad. I've heard they were a bitch, but it was pretty cake if you ask me. The worst part was the ***** of the novacane needle and thats it. I'm not even really sore tonight. Thing that really sucks ***** is that my Dental insurance doesn't cover it and I thought it did. So I get out to the front desk after its done and they tell me I owe them $450!! I'm like "Nah, my insurance covers it". They proceed to tell me that its not covered, the insurance company only negotiates a discounted price for me. Thanks alot! So now I have to get a crown done and thats gonna be another $550! This is crap! Had I known this, I woulda just tied the tooth to the back of a car and had it ripped out! Now I'm into 1 fucken tooth for $1000. Sorry, just needed to vent.

---- a root canal. I hate dentists. I stopped going a year or so ago. The last time I went they told me I had a few surface cavities they need to fix the next time I come in. I was like "Yeah, uh, I'll see ya in a few months" Later....

I was blessed with having no cavities until I was like 20. Then I had like 6 of them at once. Figures once I was responsible for my own teeth they decide to pop up. ------- teeth....it's all about the detures men. I can't wait.

Yeah, I guess I need to look at it that way. I'm down with the whole circumcision thing happening when I was a few days old. Yeah, after this crown I'm not going back to the dentist unless they are giving ---- away.
