I gotta go for my 6 months checkup Tuesday. UUGGGGHHH!! I don't think I'm gonna get a good report either. Haven't pulled that water pik out from underneath the bathroom sink in the past 6 months...like he told me. And am wondering if chewing so much nic gum the past few months has done any damage. But I'm THROUGH with that as of Monday...let's hope.

I've had a bad sore throat all week. Using chloraseptic spray and Halls sugar free cough drops...but its not gettin' any better.

Got any suggestions, Nurse Mel...or ANYBODY????? It's really bothersome.

The dentist was not real personable.But he was about 60 and really seemed to know his stuff.I need a full-mouth debridement-on my insurance it is $60.00--way better than the last dentist I saw who wanted 500.$!!I also will need a crown soon--THAT is 325.00--better than the $800.oo from my last dentist!So he may not be young,friendly or good-looking..But what the heck-IM not marrying the guy..and I am getting great discounts..So its all good...mel

That doesn't sound too bad Mel!

I know those crowns cost a lot...I just had mine and it was $725...and I really Need 3 more...but that will just have to wait a bit.

I actually PreFER that my dentist not be good looking - - the last thing I want is to be sitting in a chair with cotton stuffed in my mouth and a bib on and slobbering down my chin!(lol) and having some hunky guy there!! GIve me Old and Ugly any day!(lol)
