Current Mood:  pissed off
so today i finally got to go to the dentist (joy). i havent been since last july because apparently its too difficult for the insurance company and the dental office to communicate with each other and weve been getting billed for my FREE visit ever since. i feel like a parent with two kids who keep yelling and bitching about the other, but refuse to talk to the other person. the insurance company keeps insisting that the dental office hasnt given them some info for my claim, and the dentist assures us to ignore the bills and that they have sent the info before. whatever. i give up. they can go fuck themselves if they cant talk to each other and need me to play referee.
dan called and made me an apt for today which was supposed to be for filling the 3 cavities ive had since last year. but apparently they cant do that in case things have changed (?) if my last visit was more than 6 months or some BS ago. but they neglected to say that when we made the apt or to call us back and say this would be just a cleaning. thanks a lot. the pain in my mouth will surely go away because of your 'rules'.
so after waiting almost an hour to see someone, i get my teeth cleaned after some xrays. woohoo. then we get to wait again so they can 'examine' my teeth. get sat in the chair for at least half an hour, then the doctor finally shows up, i think they were out at lunch or some crap. ladeeda for you, dont schedule my damn apt during that time then, assholes. 5 mins. thats how long she was there, including preping herself and whatnot. did the same exact 'mirror with a pick' thing the cleaner did. wooooo totally not a waste of my time! so now i have FOUR cavities. fantabulous. but of course i cant get them fixed today, as the visit was for a cleaning, even though it was made for a filling. but of course my existing cavities might have "changed" since last year. yeah, they got worse dipshits, please push back my fillings for another month, thanks.
the best part was their 'list of things i need'. apparently besides the 4 fillings, i also need my last 2 wisdom teeth removed (and the lady who settles the bills and makes apts was the first person to ever tell me this, and it wasnt on my list from last july either, does that sound right to anyone?), and i need a crown on top of my root canal tooth so it doesnt erode or crack or some shit (and i dont even know if thats true, DO i need a crown? cause my dentists that i had everything done for under my parents insurance when i was in school, although i cant find anything good to say about any of them, never said ANYTHING about needing a crown [and youd think theyd say 'hey, dude give me more money, you need this!'], and my mother has multiple root canals and no crowns so i have no clue). no mention like last time that i need a fake tooth or cap or something put in where my molar was pulled out so that my other molar that used to meet it doesnt 'fall down' or something. so if they 'take out' "necessary" things, can i really trust their other 'necessities'??
so now i have 3 apts, one for extraction, one for crowns (if we decide to spend that crazy ass amount of money), and one for my fillings. and the fillings one, which i need the most, would be the furthest away one. great. fucking super great. cause i love toothaches, and i am so looking forward to those goddamned novocaine shots in my fucking gums, cause once again, i get stuck with my wisdom teeth being pulled without me being knocked out. fuck you, dentists! im sooo sick of all this crap. im seriously just going to go get dentures and be done with it all. ^&$&%^%&*@$# |
