  • and its a day.


    Went to the dentist this morning for an "emergency" apointment.  Had spent the weekend with a toothache.  Its a new dentist.  When I called my old one they informed me I was a inactive patient, and they didn't have space for me...My last apointment was just before Rainee.    They weren't polite about it.  Basically they told me I didn't return calls, so they didn't like me.


    Well I DID return calls.  And told them I couldn't do a cleaning 'cause I had a daughter with extreme health challenges and just didn't have time.    I repeated this to the receptionist.  And she was to put it politely RUDE.  We will NEVER go back to them.    I can understand them needing to schedule the apointment in a month.   But "we don't want you 'cause you wouldn't get your teeth cleaned."  is all a bit too weird for me. 


    So Rob inquired around work and found a new dentist.  They were polite and would have gotten me in the same day.    Rob knew we couldn't swing it yesterday, so I went this morning.  They said yup you got a cavity (knew that)  And scheduled a second appointment this afternoon to get it fixed.  *sigh*  A old filling broke and is stuck in my gums...he *thinks*  I'm gonna get away with a filling, but said be aware you *might* have to have a root canal.  Prays HARD that I don't.  Soooooooooo spendy, and painful.  *sigh*


    So, in an hour the kids go to my moms and I go back to the dentist.    He'll fix the "big" one and a wee one next to it.    If he does a good job,  I'll schedule my cleaning and Robs.  And to get another filling that is cracked fixed.   The fact that they got me in this quickly was awesome.  And he was polite and friendly as well as the receptionist.  Here's hoping.


    I HATE the dentists.  I have a small mouth, and they just have a hard time getting stuff in my mouth and I always come back with a migraine.    YUCKY YUCKY.   


    So, thats my day don't you wanta change places with me??????

  • :nono: How rude of your original dentist!!  David is notorious for forgetting is appts and ours still is delightful to have our business!

  • Eek! I definitely don't want to switch with you. Though that reminds me that I have yet to get pediatricians and dentists set up for my kidlets and family. Eek!

  • We have wonderful dentists, but just got a letter saying that out son's will be leaving town.    I hope you don't have to have a root canal.  OUCH.

  • I have heard of more and more medical 'professionals' doing this.  I makes me so mad every time I hear of it.  Praying you don't need the root canal.

  • :wave: Hope you don't need a root canal and that the visit goes by quickly.

  • Seems like everyone's been going to the dentist these days! Craktpot just went the other day too.

    *hugs* I hate the dentist too!
