unicornduke Got a temporary crown put on one of my teeth, two weeks until the permanent one gets put on. They made the casts by putting this purple shit in my mouth and it mostly dried in two or three minutes but it had the weirdest taste that was similar to something I knew. Maybe silicone? I don't know. I'm kinda scared that the temp crown is going to pop off, the nurse said it was a possibility and they could just put it back on no problem. She also said it might be sore and it definitely is now. I'm eating creamed corn for dinner :P
Next appointment will hopefully be my last dentist appointment for a while (until my next cleaning in October sobs), but all major dentistry work should be done. That's what I get for not going to the dentist for three years and having cavity susceptible teeth. I don't know why dentist appointments are so terrible now, they were really just fine when I was a kid. Maybe we just had a really amazing dentist when I was little.
Anyway. Five cavities and a crown is plenty to deal with and I'm pretty ready to be done. The last one was on my last molar on the top and it was just really really sore for weeks because the dentist apparently had to adjust something and caused some trauma. It's fine now, I gave it a long break.
Fucking teeth

The insurance will probably send you a bill eventually.
The way mine works it that the dentist has the info for the insurance provider, the provider covers whatever they cover (it's through work and not 100% coverage), and I pay the difference. For a cleaning it's under 50 CAD. So I'm never perfectly sure what it will be but even the minor surgery was under 400 CAD out of pocket.
