dentist

Today I had a high profile meeting ... which I nailed! Followed by a horrific visit to the dentist - my teeth are not in the greatest shape; I have soft gums so therefore they are susceptible to easy tooth de-cay (must spend more time flossing in between meals). Well this was great news I received early December and today was the first phase of getting two crowns - UGH and my dentist was telling me I have been approved for gold crowns - visions of Rappers like Cha-millionaire and 50 Cent came to mind will gold encrusted grills. I immediately said can I have something else; he said that was fine, in fact porcelain was what he prefer to use but would cost more. I thought that was odd that porcelain was more then gold. He said gold was cheaper ... who knew. Anyway after my painful visit within 10 days I will have 2 porcelain teeth and not look like one of those rap guys girlfriends.

I got a gold one. It's in the very back, so most of the time no one ever sees it. They told me that the gold crowns will sometimes last twice as long as porcelain. That was the deciding factor for me.
