I had fun today. I woke for the third straight day with the feeling that I’d been sleeping with my teeth clenched all night. But, today, I found the source of the pain. My left six-year molar had caved-in in an area hard to reach by toothbrush. This then led to a gum infection. This was not the end of my bad news. I have the same problem with the right six-year molar, but it hasn’t developed a sinkhole, yet. As a bonus, I have three more superficial cavities that need filling. The estimated cost of this is in excess of $600 because I have no dental insurance. Did you know that 178 gallons of heating oil costs over $500 now? That’s a nice one-two blow to take, don’t you think?
In any case, I’m in pain, I can’t eat solid food, and I’m grumpy.
