So. Result of dentist visit: All four wisdom teeth need to be pulled, and I'm looking at one root canal, maybe two. All my fillings need to be redone as well.

And, I have a consulting visit with the doctor I've referred to for the pulling, who will hopefully get this done before the new year. Since that's better for my insurance. This visit is tomorrow, at 2.

Tomorrow. After my exit exam. Which has me scared stiff and which I haven't had the time to study for and I am now freaking out and wondering if I shouldn't call in to work so I can spend the day studying for that.

But then, I can take the book to work with me and probably get as much done as I would staying home, where there are many more things to distract me.

On the other hand, I did like this dentist? Not at all the sort of condescending lecturing that I got out of the last one, and the receptionist was very helpful about figuring out my insurance, which I have sadly not kept up with because I never use it.

Eeek! Schedule a week off if you can...so the pretty, pretty pain drugs will work their magic and help you heal properly afterwards--and, ice cream or popsicles to soothe the areas after (we did it for Jay; apparently what works for removed tonsils and adenoids also helps with root canals--who knew? Your mileage may vary. Watch that the kitty doesn't share (too much!) ice cream with you^^

and! bring with and study there; it will be less mind-explodingly boring when you're not busy then!

Nonono - the dentist was *after* the exit? I won't know if I've passed until tomorrow.

And, I'm having teeth pulled before the root canal? Lots of time yet for that.

Teeth getting pulled on the coming Monday, though. o.o
