I awoke looking forward to a day of rest, but a day of rest I did not get. I finally got around to eating breakfast this morning about 9AM – rice chex with milk, sounds harmless, right? But my second bite was fatal for my tooth. I lost an onlay (like a partial crown) on one of my back teeth. I actually pulled it off with a caramel early September and they put some temporary glue on it until I could have it fixed ‘for real’. Needless to say, I’ve been a little pre-occupied. I REALLY did not want to go to the dentist today! But to the dentist I went. They used a stronger glue because of my sob story and I scheduled to come back later this month to have it permanently repaired. They began giving me my options as to the type of crowns I can order to replace the onlay and the one they recommend is a lava porcelain. Their big selling point was that it comes with a lifetime guarantee. I just about laughed out loud. Will I get my money’s worth? Is that really a smart investment under the circumstances? Is it like going to a buffet after having your braces tightened? You KNOW you’re not going to have anything you can’t drink through a straw! Where is the value in that?
Hopefully you find it humorous with me. Some of you – like my mother – will probably find it morbid.
I still think it’s kind of funny =)
