Yesterday, I had a dreaded appointment with my dentist. Now, Dr. Becky is an amazing woman and a GREAT dentist. She understands my fear and takes the time to get me through these needed sessions. Yesterday, I thought we were going to work on creating a new crown. I'd psyched myself up for the visit, and even arrived early. She DID take the old crown off, but then she said "Okay, NOW I have room to work!" and away she went. She wanted to work on the molar all the way at the back, and had been hampered by the tooth with the crown. To make a long story short, she dug all the way to China, and I was in the chair for two entire hours! I have a new filling in that tooth, and between us, we have extended the life of the tooth a bit longer.
I can't say I enjoyed it, but she got me through it. In two weeks, we start that new crown. This will be the summer of my discontent, and weight loss.
