methinks eating a candy cane will help with my dental woes.
aaah, the irony.
i hate the dentist and i hate my teeth

so, my "guess" yesterday about how my dental consultation would go? well, it was worse.
i feel really dirty telling you all this, but seriously, my teeth don't hurt and they don't look nasty!!! and while i don't floss more than once a week, i DO brush my teeth. but somehow, in this 2 1/2 years without dental coverage and cleanings, i've aquired 7 cavities. holy shit.
not only that, but one of them is threatening to need a root canal. ohmyfuckinggod, do you know how expensive that is???
so while i'm not thrilled at the prospect of facing THE DRILL a bunch of times, the prospect of having to pay for all of this is truly horrifying. i have the world's shittiest dental coverage. even if i got metal as opposed to porcelain, it's almost $100 per tooth. i'm currently wrestling with the insurance comapny and i'm fully prepared to seek out a new denist, one with lower rates. we shall see.
i'm really upset about this. i cried on the phone last night to david, and called my mom, jenn and sabrina for consolation and cheering up. i feel like such a loser. why did i slack on going to the dentiast earlier this year? and why have i been stuck with obviously crappy, cavity-prone teeth? and why can i never afford my life?
