wednesday...i went to have my teeth cleaned. we switched dentists when we moved...we LOVED our old dentist, dr. edge. we felt the change was necessary though and one of my high school friends is a dental hygenist at the new office.
this is my new dentist...
dr. beck...
i thought i was going to get out of there with just one cavity and a teeth whitening tray kit that they are running a special on...that was until dr. beck made his visit to the exam room i was in...
he noticed that a tooth on the bottom was a little discolored...so, he asked for this electric current thing that he puts on teeth to see if they are "alive" or "dead." he did the tooth beside the one he was concerned about..."alive." the tooth that he was concerned about...of course, "dead." so, what does that mean? a lovely root canal. WHAT?
my good friend, amy, told her daughter once that a c-section was less painful than a root canal. i told dr. beck this...he wanted to know if i wanted to have a c-section. i told him that unless he was pulling a baby out...that would be a big NO! ha!
i then proceeded to ask him the million dollar ???...because my mom and dad have paid a pretty penny for these teeth...how is he going to fix this discolored tooth? and i also asked since i inherited these teeth from my mom and dad...could he just send them the bill. :0) they are already invested!!!
the game plan is...to inject whitening "stuff" into the tooth when he does the root canal. after this...i will do the teeth whitening trays. so, my discolored tooth (it is not really noticeable...but i know) will no longer be discolored and my other teeth will join in on the fun with the tray kit.
so, after my next dentist appointment...i will have had a lovely root canal, a cavity filled, a tooth injected with whitening "stuff", molds made for my whitening trays and a nice big dentist bill! ha! it will be worth it though...
just a note...dr. beck also has his complete name on his "dentist" glasses. LOVE it!!!
i got home on wednesday from the dentist and 10 minutes later noticed qualls nose was running. i asked jq how long it had been like that and he said it just started. so, from 5pm to 1am...he progressively got worse. he had a temp of 101, coughing and having a hard time controlling the drainage...we started meds trying to get a hold of it but really couldn't. his temp got up to 102.5 thursday night. so, off to the doctor we went on friday. qualls has the croup again along with an ear infection. we have had some very long nights here!!! he has gotten some better over the last day and we are hoping and praying that he is much better soon!!!
