JESUS!!!!! That should be a lesson learned for everybody. I would have said no initially, but when they said the honeymoon paid for, that would have been me. Mortgage????? Fucking 'ell. Good for her, I love to hear stories like that.I on the other hand have just got back from the dentist (again). I have an appointment EVERY DAY this week, (well Monday through Thursday anyway). I bite down on a Whole Nut bar sent from Carol on Sunday afternoon, and my teeth breaks. I call the dentist office, hoping to just leave a message and have them call me back on Monday morning. Well, the dentist himself picks up, I tell him there is no pain, but I have previously had a root canal, and I cannot determine whether it is the tooth with the root canal. He tells me to come in yesterday morning. I go in, and he temporarily fixes the tooth, but now I need TWO root canals, I have TWO huge fucking abcesses one under each tooth, highly infected, although no pain, I have felt nothing all this time, and he says they have probably been there SIX MONTHS. He goes up into the root canal, no pain, and even though he's drilling etc, I have no anesthetic, and no pain from what he is doing. Anyway, as he goes up in and pulls out, this godawful stench comes down with it, it was awful, and embarrassing. Although, he laughs and says, "don't be embarassed, there are people who come in whose mouths smell like this the minute they open up!!!!" Anyway, I went in again this morning for more work, and over the next two days, then back again in 4 months to make sure that everything took the way it was supposed to. Dental insurance is pretty bleak over here, so I had to shell out $1500 of the $3300 fee, the insurance will get the rest. I'm just glad that I had the money. The other thing is that I truly believe that American dentists are the best in the world, you rarely see an average American with F'd up teeth.
