dentist

i recently chipped a tooth. ouch. well, the bigger pain was yet to come! soon after i made an appointment with my dentist to have him check out what the problem was and how to fix it. i got pretty lucky in that the tooth was chipped, but there wasnt any real pain from it. when i went in to see the dentist he took a look at it and told me i needed to have it crowned. argh. the problem is that i dont have any dental insurance (which seems to be the only insurance that i actually need...) so whatever the dentist does i will have to pay for all of it. well, i had the tooth grinded down and have a temporary one in there now. soon i have to go back so i can get the permanent one put it, and the dentist said i need at least three more. yikes! i am just going to plan on winning the lottery soon...
