Today I again took a half-day off from work for a dentist appointment. As I explained from my first visit, I need two crowns removed and redone, and each procedure would by itself use my entire annual dental insurance coverage, so we split it into two visits, one in December and one in January, so each visit will apply to a different coverage year. It still leaves me with around $600 that's my responsibility, but I can charge it against my healthcare savings account, so I'm not out of pocket.
The crown to be removed today is on the lower right of my jaw, directly below the one I had removed last month. But for whatever reason, this one seemed to be more difficult to remove. Moreover, they needed to remove the other temporary crown as well because they did the measurements for both crowns today. Eventually (about two hours total), they put both temporary crowns on and I was free to go, with an appointment for two weeks from today, which is when the crowns should come back from the lab.
My lower right jaw is throbbing from the work done on that tooth. I hope aspirin will help ease the pain.
