I went to the dentist this morning!

I had an abscess for over a week since last Saturday, not yesterday but a week ago! Then they cancelled my appointment on Friday and booked it for this morning which was unusual cause it's a Sunday Morning! Anyways... I wanted my tooth pulled, but the dentist told me that he could save my tooth by giving me a root canal! So that's what he did! And he saved my tooth, which was probably best! I have been taking amoxicillen all week for the infection 4 times a day, and just yesterday only did my swelling go down... So that was good, and they saved my tooth instead of pulling it, and little did I know I also had two other cavities on my right side molars so he filled them also!! Then they did a cleaning and I thought that my Canada Life plan would cover 100% of my dental work, but they charged me extra! Before I went to the dentist I asked my oldest son if I could borrow his bank card just in case there was hidden extra fee's that I didn't have any money for, so he lent me his bank card.. And sure enough I ended up paying an extra $370.00 on top of my 100% coverage! So now I owe my son my CPPDissability next time I get it! Booo!!! But I'm glad he helped otherwise I'd be screwed!!! While I was at the dentist there was a group of undercovers telling them about how I stalked my dentist once, and that it was true love, and blah blah blah... I didn't care. I've heard it all before.. The dental assistant made a comment and the dentist said that's not our problem right now.. So yea same old same old...Anyways I arrived at my appointment at 9:00 AM this morning, and was finished at !:00 PM!!! I got like 20-30 X rays, a root canal and two fillings and a cleaning and pollish! I would say they were pretty good about it! I liked what I seen! And it didn't hurt too too bad! So God bless those who work at that dental clinic! I'm a happy patient! They even let me have a smoke break half way through lol!
