Dentist time now, yes?

No, alas. *sigh*

So I found a dental cost calendar online and compared it with my benefits AND double-checked to make sure my last visit was like I remember where I said, "This wisdom tooth hurts," and they just yanked it then and there, which they did. And I can afford to get the two wisdom teeth I have left and the cavity on my left side filled, but I'm really worried I'm going to say I can have that much done and he'll say either, "Oh, that's too much to do right now," or, "Oh, but this cracked tooth is so much more important to fix!"

Which, yes, I'd love to get that one fixed but with my dental plan the other three teeth should cost about a hundred bucks and the cracked tooth at its cheapest is maybe about $350 all by itself. Unless I get it pulled, too, which ... no, thanks, I'll just wait and hope for more overtime and take more overtime then get the other one fixed.

I'm just hoping I'm not going to go in and be told I need four million other things done to my teeth. Not that I mind the dental work, just the money I don't have to pay for it all. Ugh.

Well, that's okay then. The one wisdom tooth that's really bothering me is the top one -- the bottom one's not so bad that it has to go anytime soon (it's more of a, "Well, fuck, while you're in there ..."). And even if they do decide to take that bottom one out, I can always just arrange it so that I get it out the first day of one of my four days off and spend the rest of the weekend passed out on my couch watching Law and Order reruns. :)
