Trip to the dentist

I went to the dentist today to see about my wisdom tooth. Well, it hasn't broken through, but it is just below the tissue. Both of my upper ones are just below the tissue, no roots yet. My bottom two are below the bone, no roots yet. I do however have 5 count them 5 cavities. Yes, I am 27 years old and have cavities. I brush twice a day, not three times a day. Needless to say even though I don't eat alot of sweets I DO drink 3 espressos every morning with sugar, and 2 , mountain dews in the afternoon. So I might as well eat candy all day! So I now have my travel toothbrush, toothpaste, and fluoride rinse in my makeup bag and I will be brushing my teeth after coffee, and after lunch. I also will now have to make myself drink sugar free drinks. I just brewed some tea and that will not get sweetened and I will drink that with dinner. My coffee I can't live without but, mountain dew will have to be a treat from now on.

Anyway, I was really prepared to see some high numbers for having all four wisdom teeth pulled, it's actually not that bad. For all 4 without insurance would be $1521.00. I have PPO so I will pay 20% of 1521.00 Not too bad. For all my cavities and a cleaning $1221.00, but I will pay 20% of that. Actually I'll pay less because they are contracted with Aetna, so they can only bill me what Aetna says they can bill me. :) It pays to deal with insurance all day everyday. I can't be shafted. lol So my mouth after these are filled will pretty much be all fillings! I scheduled Abby's appointment for next Thursday. Let's all hope she didn't get my teeth genes.
