Yours truly made a much procrastinated trip to the dentist this morning. Oh, I’ve been to the dentist regularly for cleanings and a few restorations. Even had a wisdom tooth removed in December. But today’s visit was for two crowns that I’ve been told I needed for a few years now. Between the anxiety and the cost, I had put them off.
After he’d ground away enough of tooth #2 and tooth #3 the dentist could see tooth #4 needed a crown, too.
As my loving daughter Jill wrote, “Is that what they mean by Triple Crown winner?”
($2485 if you must know. Insurance pays half. Last month it was my car (including a timing belt). In April it was my trees that needed pruning. Recession my a**.)
