so i found a new and better dentist. he explains everything to you and does all the admin work with the insurance company. my old dentist was a jackass. he used to make me calculate how much I pay and how much is covered under my dental plan and if I calculated it wrong (ie. $5 off) he would hound me for years till I paid it. what a useless tit that doctor and his secretary was.
anyway, so .... YES, new dentist, fabulous dentist.
I grind my teeth. Supposedly I do it all time. In my sleep, as I'm typing this (jesus, stop that!) and when i swallow i push my tongue forward against my front teeth. Hence, the enamel on my teeth is eroding away and a gap is forming between my two front teeth. NG, NG.
In 2 weeks I'm getting my teeth bonded! Yippee!! To get rid of the slight gap between my two front teeth and to prevent it from getting worse. I'm also getting a mouthguard to wear at night so I don't grind my teeth while I sleep. Plus it'll act as a retainer and hold my front teeth in place.
Very excited. Now Jason doesn't have to wake up to hearing my teeth grind in the middle of the night. YIPPEE!!!
