It was great. I got up,
got dressed had a little breakfast, went out across the street and I
was at my dentist's office. I love being able to see my dentist's
office from my apartment. My dentist has been in this office for
about 25 years. A lot of his staff have been there that long as well
as well as his office manager is his wife and they're all nice
people. I get a good feeling just sitting in the office. My
appointment was at 9 o'clock and I hung outside the building until
830 when I decided to go in and start the process. There's nothing
ostentatious about the office at all it is all down to earth. The
place is comfortable however you can imagine them actually closing
the office on Wednesday night and having Thanksgiving dinner the
following day. Not that that has happened, but the kind of place
where that could happen.
When I got there all the
chairs, dental chairs were filled . Dental cleanings are going on and
dental work was going on. The offices kind of open which I thought
was quaint. In fact the x-ray machine to be shared between two
offices which I thought was ingenious. We played musical chairs for a
minute or two trying to get me into a space that I could lower my
chair. The first thing we had to do was get x-rays of my mouth. They
had this really cool machine which actually circumnavigated my head
taking pictures of my mouth. This was accomplished by taking the head
rest off my chair lowering my chairThen lowering the back even
further allowing the x-ray ring smooth sailing all the way around.
The reason I made this
appointment was because I've noticed the cavity next to the dental
work the previous dentist had done couple months ago. There is
actually some pain associated with this cavity which drove me into
the dentist. I frame is figured that tooth would be worked on was not
ready for what else the guy found. There is some major cavity action
going on with some of my teeth. The dentist actually seemed a bit
perplexed that true look had not seen some of these other issues
which I guess where fairly blatant. I must admit however Andrew
Luke's defense that any time I went to Drew Luke for services it was
often because of emergency needs like a broken tooth, a feeling which
Had fallen out or just handwringing pain. Perhaps Drew Luke was seen
some of these issues had I gone in for regular six-month checkups and
the cleanings – – I am such an idiot.
This intervention is going
to cost and this intervention is going to cost a lot. I have to admit
they were very cool about the whole thing. The wife was also the
office manager was really great at explaining the costs and options
we could consider. I really appreciated the time she spent with me
figuring out how to manage the financial outlay. Looks like going to
start with three or four payments of $208 each. Over four months.
This will allow the major pieces of work to be finished as well as a
problem with has to be built up tooth wise. There will be more work
to be done that way less intensive than what we will start with next
week which is the root canal. I was pleased to hear that Dr. Anderson
does all this kind of work in-house so I won't have to go to the
Endodontist has Drew Luke had me do.
I think I am in good
hands.I think I can do this financially and I appreciate the dentist
and the dentists wife working with me as much as they have. This all
gives me great hope. And the best part can get there in two minutes
from my back apartment door.
