I went to the dentist today. I hate the dentist, thinking about the dentist gives me the shivers. A few weeks ago while eating some late-night popcorn I felt as though something got caught in my tooth. After a couple of weeks of extra flossing, flicking with my tounge, scraping with my fingernail, I gave up. I had a teeth cleaning appointment coming up and I would just wait until then.Today was the cleaning appointment. The hygenist took an x-ray, the doctor took a look and it was decided that I was missing a filling. However, I never had a filling, my chart even confirms no filling. Second doctor comes in and agrees, a missing filling. Now I have an appointment to re-fill the "missing" filling. But should I really be paying to replace a filing that never existed? What happens if I leave this go?
And another thought: Why am I so poor at asking questions of doctors? They intimidate me. I make mistakes at my job all the time, I bet they do too, and this is one of those mistakes.
