Friday Confessional all about my teeth

Hello and welcome to another week's confession. I must say it's been a week, that's for sure. So hold on tight, ya'll. Here we go:

• I hate my teeth.
• HATE my teeth.
• How, dear sweet Camie, could you possibly hate your teeth?
• Again, I'm glad you asked.
• I have the worst teeth ever.
• Ever.
• Okay,well maybe not ever, but mostly ever.
• I have 9 crowns.
• 1/4 of my teeth are crowns!
• I have had 14, count 'em, 14 root canals.
• Of those 14, one was on my front tooth.
• When I was 14.
• It is a crown now.
• Also, I have one tooth that was root canaled 4 times.
• How is that even possible?
• I'll tell you.
• First Dr does root canal. Fine. Done.
• Next Dr says that first Dr missed a root.
• Awesome.
• Dr does another root canal.
• Tooth never really feels better.
  
• I call Dr to have him look at it.
• Evil receptionist won't let me see or speak to Dr because my acct is delinquent $25.
• Twenty five dollars.
• So it is paid and then I have a "probationary period" due to being delinquent.
• I should have sued.
• Anyway, go to a different Dr, who tells me I should have been to a specialist weeks ago.
• So I go to an endodontist.
• Tells me previous dentist didn't get to the bottom of the root.
• Tells me he left a pocket of infection that is eating my bone.
  
• Tells me I need to have another root canal or surgery.
• Awesome.
• I totally should have sued.
  
• So we're a young freshly married couple and aren't sure if insurance will cover it.
• Also we're moving to Utah in, like, a week.
  
• So we just moved.
• Found out later that insurance would have covered it, by the way.
• So after moving, we have to wait the customary waiting period before insurance will kick in.
• like 6 months or so.
  
• In the meantime, a small infection bubble grows below said tooth.
• Awesome.
• Even awesomer still is that said infection bubble drains at least once a day.
• I'll spare you the gory details, but let's just say it was NOT nice.
• Finally go to new Dr.
• Sends me to another Endodontist.
• Explains options again.
• I opt to have root canal again as opposed to surgery.
• Endo does third root canal on tooth.
• Infection bubble comes back a week later.
• Insurance is shot due to $3500 specialist root canal.
• Have to wait until new year.
• Have to have surgery.
• Endo performed 4th and final root canal from the bottom up.
• Thats right.
• Awesome.
• Sounds exactly like it was.
• Bottom up.
  
• I used to have full on panic attacks when I sat in the dentist chair.
• Crying, shaking, the whole nine yards.
  
• Do you blame me?
• So yeah, I my teeth and I have a hate hate relationship.
• I have oh so many stories to tell.
• But the bottom line is that I think I need my wisdom teeth out.
• They hurt lately.
• And I just don't wanna.
• Not awesome.
• Stoopid teeth.
