glaaarg, with photographic evidence
me getting a mold taken for a crown.
had to get a crown because my old amalgam filling was coming apart and there wasn't enough tooth left for a refill.
while i was there, i also got 2 other fillings, and am scheduled for 2 more when i get the crown finished this friday.
i asked the dentist what i could do besides brushing twice daily (which i do) and flossing daily (which i do).
he said maybe a $120 electric toothbrush would help, and some prescription flouride toothpaste.
sigh.
then the hygienist complimented me on how nice my teeth are.
what????
this dentist did very good work, i think.
his office is in the mall, which turns out to be a good thing in terms of quality.
lots of high tech toys, multiple assistants, and spotless walls, floors, and ceilings - unlike my previous dentist (2 of whose fillings will be redone by the mall-dentist) whose office was kinda dingy, had no assistants, and went on about how new-school toys were a waste of time.
yeah.
we'll see if mall-dentist's fillings have to be redone in 1.5 years.
