I Need Dental Work!!

[Janet]

I'm sure you can probably tell in my pictures that I don't have the best looking teeth. Now that Ricky is done with braces and now that we have dental insurance, I made an appointment with the dentist. I so hate to admit this, but I haven't been since 2002. I know....I've been a bad girl. My only excuse is that we didn't have dental insurance and Ricky's braces were quite expensive. Now that they are paid off it's my turn and this time...we have insurance.

So I went and had the xrays taken. Looks like I have bone loss, some gum disease, a very big cavity that will need extracted and 4 other small cavities. I go on Tuesday for a free consultation to find out the options and game plan. Also they will give me lots of info about what my insurance will cover and what it won't.

They did say it would take about 4 visits to get it all taken care of. I do not like going to dentists AT ALL, but there are times with I just get tired of being afraid and just go for it. This is one of those times. I am anxious to get everything taken care of and get them cleaned really good. I wish I could get the spaces fixed too, but will have to see. I really wish I wasn't doing it at this age, but better late than never I guess.
