Dental Day

What a day. Went to the dentist, got a checkup. Somewhere in the vicinity of three thousand dollars worth of repairs that my insurance won’t cover. Ouch. Too much Dr. Pepper. Way too much. Carbonated sodas corrode your teeth at the gumline.

“The good news is that most of the damage is in the back, where noone can see it,” the dentist told me. “The bad news is that we might have to do root canals on a couple of molars.” Oh, shit. I better stop with the sodas.

And hope that a filling will hold.

Oops.
