I had my cleaning and check-up this morning. I have a minor cavity that will be filled, and a crown that will be replaced next year. The cleaning went fine, except that there was a bit more water running down my throat than I am used to. I had to stop and cough a few times. Do you get your teeth checked every six months?

I go Friday, but it’s been a year since I went. I know I should go every six months, but I hate having my dad pay for it. No dental insurance stinks. Even having dental insurance will run a big bill.

Can you get dental insurance down the road?

@TheHorse I don’t know how I will ever afford it. I’ve explored all avenues, but I’m just out of luck. And with him retiring soon, I’m not sure how he will continue to be able to afford me going. Guess that’s when trusting in God comes in handy.

Glad you can still eat. Are you not on Medicare?

I am past-due for my 6-month checkup and couldn't get an appointment until February. Not happy about that.
