Blah... Today Was A Mess...

And not even for the obvious reason either. I had a dentist
appointment today and come to find out that I two small
cavities on my lower back right teeth. Dr. Velez says it
comes from not flossing good enough back there. So now I
have to get them drilled and filled and it also probably
means that I'll end up with another sky high behind dentist
bill too. I think the co-pay for that claptrap last time
was something like $130 dollars and then because my dentist
used the "white" fillings and not the "silver" fillings and
my insurance only covered something like half a tooth with
"white" fillings or something stupid like that, I ended up
with an almost $500 dollar dentist bill. Oh I'd like to
have strangled that lady from Delta dental too when I called
and questioned why I was getting slapped with a $500 dentist
bill. She said to me and I quote, "Well you should have
called and asked us what we covered cause that's what most
people do."

Uh, hi... You said that you covered fillings, you didn't
specify WHAT KIND of fillings. And most dentist don't use
the "silver" fillings anymore anyway cause I think they have
mercury in them, so why the crap don't you cover all "white"
fillings. Oh I was so fit to be tied when she said that.
Mom said I should have reported her, but I didn't feel like
going through the motions and I didn't get the name of the
hateful sow I was talking to. Thankfully my dentist said
because they didn't ask the insurance company first and this
was still when they were a new practice, they would eat the
cost of the fillings. My dentist is so wonderful!

So I'm banking on having another horrid experience with
Delta Dental again. And they say people rant and rave about
how wonderful they are. When really they're just as much
assholes as everyone else.

And as if the billing process for that isn't painful enough,
I have to get the novocaine shot, be numb for several hours
then have the icy cold pain that shoots through you as the
dentist drill does its job.... OH! It's so horrible! Oh I
can't take it.

Man! And I thought I was doing really good with my teeth.
I've been brushing twice a day, flossing, using pre-mouth
wash, regular mouth wash all that and still ended up with
two cavities. Oh this sucks. Hopefully because they're so
tiny he won't have to drill as much as he did when I had
those 4 cavities. Man I swore he was drilling for gold when
I last had to go through this.

Woo-hoo: Wah, I had no good news coming out of my dentist's
office today. So nanimonai!

Barf: Blah... Where are these cavities coming from?! This
isn't fair!
