I got my first ever tooth filling today. Due to my cheap nature and lack of dental pain I’d stretched it pretty long since my last checkup. Like a decade or so. But over the last year I’d begun to experience infrequent twinges. Something evil was stirring back in molarville. It was time to face the ugly truth. I gathered up my credit card and headed for the dentist.<\/p>\n
A checkup revealed an excellent set of choppers, aside from one large cavity, another little patch of decay, and plaque. Only the big cavity needed filling and I got that done this morning. It wasn’t nearly as excruciating as I’d expected. I wouldn’t even call it painful. At least during the procedure.<\/p>\n
The freezing had completely worn off when I was at the office this afternoon. I was computing away nicely and out of the blue a wild shock of pain shot through my newly refurbished molar. Then over the next couple hours I receive various random jolts of attention-getting anguish. I discovered that this was actually to be expected. I’m not sure if that helped or not…<\/p>\n
Anyway, things seemed to have settled down back there now so that’s cool. And you know what? In the long run I saved lots of money by waiting this long to get my teeth looked at. Even with the filling I probably saved over $500. He, he!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
