Plaque, teeth cleaning

[moshquerade]

how about novamin?

I like novamin from what I've read. I haven't used it myself. Just beware of what else they add to the novamin in the toothpaste.
Remineralization products can help, but I don't expect miracles from them.

I'm slated to go in tomorrow for an exam (only $44), just so I can get checked out and make sure I'm not at risk for anything. Assuming everything is OK, I'll be going back in on the 1st with my insurance... Wish me luck!

I called and asked anyway.

"Hey, is it possible to postdate the work being done tomorrow?"
"Uh, that would be insurance fraud, so no".
"OK! Thanks anyway!"

Doesn't hurt to ask. I'm happy with their response though I won't deny that.

Tell them to hook you up to a unit of blood before the procedure... just in case.

I'm totally freaking out today. Just as bad as yesterday. If I even poke my gums they bleed.

My bottom gums are swollen today, I can feel it. Hurts some to eat, too.

I just can't fucking believe that I had been perfectly fine up until a couple days ago and now I'm all of a sudden freaking out about Gingivitis and periodontitis... As long as I'm fixable I'm fine...

I have an exam at 1PM... she said she wasn't sure if she could fit me in for a cleaning or not (at this point I couldn't care less about the insurance paying).

Ironic that I wanted 4 extra months to have my teeth cleaned and covered by insurance, and now I'm going to end up paying out of pocket just a couple days before my coverage kicks in. Stupid. Shoulda just done it on time.
