All aboard the Root Canal Train, departing this afternoon at 1:00 pm. Toot toot!

Really not looking forward to this for many reasons, the least of which is that I'm only going in for the procedure today. It'll take a least a full month plus for me to get the cap and crown, since I have to pay for them at the time of the putting-inski session and I can't afford all that at once.

So while we wait to finish the work on the installment plan, as it were, I'll be walking around with a goddamned post in the front of my mouth where once a bad tooth used to lurk. Not that it could make me look any worse, mind you, and not that I've had any previous experience not smiling-with-teeth, but it's going to be a really sore point for quite some time.

Yeah, I'm really really really looking forward to the holiday season.

I just hope the work all gets done before January 17th, since that's a performance date.

I think they'll give you a temp crown - always have for me. I'm sorry this is so sucktacular.

I have lousy teeth myself...I'm lucky that the top front few are fine, but the rest? Not good. I got several implants in the back.

You also might want to consider going to the teaching practice at Harvard. It's in Longwood, which is a PITA, but it's cheaper overall and they still take insurance. Won't help with this one but down the road. I know a lot of people who switched and are really happy.

And no, it's not just students hacking at you. They're all certified and practicing faculty dentists are present.
