Why?

Why another blog? I want a place to share my sadness and triumphs. I need a place to share my frustration, anger and tears. I also need a place to celebrate me, when I do good. My family blog is about my family. This blog is for my "Daily Stresses".

Dentist

Ok, seriously, why do we have dentists? I am glad that they are able to fix our teeth, and that we don't have to suffer with painful aching teeth, or let them rot. So maybe my question should be, Why did God make teeth that can get cavities (or root canals, or crack etc.)?

I have had more dental problems in the last year, then in my whole life. Last February, I needed a root canal on one of my bottom molars. Apparently I have the longest roots EVER! They had to take several x-rays at increasingly higher angles to even see the bottom of my roots. So, welcome to the endodontist (root canal specialist). Goodbye $600.00

July, second root canal, same side, only upper tooth. I had it fixed, but not crowned. I was still having morning sickness, and they said that the temporary cover should last til after the baby. So, goodbye $400.00.

For several weeks, I have noticed that I could see through my front tooth. Like there was a hole behind it, and light was getting through. Well, that is exactly what it was. Plus 4 other cavities, and a crown for my last root canal! My morning was spent getting my whole mouth numb (of course all the cavities aren't together. 1 on top left, 1 bottom left, 1 top right, 1 bottom right). So 2 hours later, all fixed up, I cannot feel my mouth, or nose, or chin. I know that I am biting my cheek raw, but I can't help it!. Goodbye $400.00 more!

Oh, I hate the dentist!!!!! He didn't even give me a prize!
