More dental fun

A few years ago, shortly after moving here, I went to the dentist and got more than I bargained for. What was supposed to be a checkup ended up being a pretty nasty root canal.

So of course, I had to do it again.

I went in for a checkup a while ago, at a new dentist near here. She told me she wanted to redo all my fillings, and give me a deep clean.

I had my upper wisdom teeth pulled on the first visit. Then back again.

So I had three fillings done a couple of weeks ago, but due to them being very deep, it was a long process and I had to book back in for the rest - that was today.

She did the deep cleaning (which isn't much fun, actually), then started one of the new fillings. Very quickly she found it was decayed to the root - guess what - another root canal is needed.

So, I have to go to a specialist for the root canal (need to book that), then go for my lower wisdom teeth to be removed before going *back* for the capping on the rooted tooth.

All of that, and my dental deductable is at maximum already. Bitch and moan about the NHS, but financially it won't screw you.
