Dentist

When the "no more ozone" apocalypse comes (because there are so many nowadays, isn't there? Where does loosing the ozone rate anymore? Is it even on the board?), I am running to the nearest dental office and stealing all their iron bibs used to protect you from x-rays. Ha! I'll be safe from the solar energy with my flexible suit of iron bibs!

Yeah, you wouldn't want her getting startled by loud noises when she's got a whirring, grinding thing stuck in your mouth. But she could give you headphones.

Ooo. I'll have to charge my iPod. Thanks!

Your flexible iron bib suit might save you from the UV Apocalypse, but will it help you when the zombies rise?

Arrg! Good luck with the root canal! :(

Still, its a great idea to have a film playing in the ceiling. I'll suggest that to my dentist next time she's poking around in my mouth.

Wait until she's done poking around. She might not understand you otherwise.

Love those root canals! Actually, I never minded getting a root canal because it meant the pain would go away, or would at least be transferred to my bank account.

My supervisor said I should just have the tooth pulled. Is that what I should do? What's the difference between a root canal and a crown?

[lindas_hell]

Certainly it is cheaper to have the tooth pulled. Since my root canals were done an my two back molars, I figured, who would know if they were pulled? Of course, I didn't realize how much I use those molars. Plus, my dentist said "we always try to save the tooth". As for a crown, after the root canal is done, which involves removing the nerves from the tooth by drilling down into the tooth from the top (and thus removing the pain), a fake tooth-looking top is put on the tooth, which is called "a crown" and it covers up the drilling work and the holes the dentist put in that tooth. In other words, a crown in the final step in a root canal.

Well, the root canal happens next Thursday. I should have a temporary crown then and a regular one later.

The zombies will use your 'bib' to shield themselves
as they eat your messy brains. :P

I need to go the dentist. I won't be going. There's
lots of trouble in Mouthtown, but I'm hoping it
doesn't implode until finances improve.

I thought a root canal was usually followed by crowns,
since your tooth is kind of in need of something solid
by then, but maybe I'm mixed up.

*Maybe??*

No. I have two other crowns they want to put in. If they pulled the bad tooth, then I would have a crown.
