The dentist went OK, but I was in the chair for 3 hours, cracked the whole shebang, and had to get the tooth pinned and ready for a crown. Because it holds a partial had to get it fixed.
I want you to know, if you look long and hard enough, there will be dentists that can give you a break financially. My dentist did do that for me, when she found out how much trouble I am in medically. She gave me the several visits, cleanings, and deep root cleanings for free. I am also allow to pay whatever I can, when I can. No pressue for payments of any kind. My son is working on weekends to help me to pay. I have no insurance, and medicare/medicaid doesn't cover a thing. That is why I didn't see a dentist for 10 years, no money and it cost me three teeth. I now have gotten the rest of my mouth in good order, without fear of a bill I can't pay for.
As far as dieting goes, after what I went through yesterday, I had pie and a big bowl of ice cream. I didn't do so good either the last couple of days for sure. Stress puts me in the mood to emotionally eat, and I have been certainly doing that. Lets both of us try today.
Take care bobby, and I hope you find that compassionate dentist. ginnie
