Have you ever noticed how things often come in groups of three? It seems like an old cliche' but I can see why people subscribe to this philosophy. Once again the three's struck me.
Yesterday I went to the periodontist to find out when I can get my implant done. They have digital x-rays that really show you all the things you probably wish it didnt but are glad it does. As he is looking over my teeth he informs me that, the tooth next to the one I just broke and had to lose last month, also has a short life in my mouth. Seems when I got the root canal done it poked thru the root of the tooth and is causing "problems". And did I want to do both of them at once. I am like, not only no, but hell no! I am still adjusting to losing the other one. I vote for waiting. So ... he looks a little more at my x-ray and says tell me about your front left tooth. So I said, it has had a lot of work and has worried me on how long I could keep it. He said it is problematic and we need another xray at another angle.
So he comes back in and says, here is the plan, tooth one now, tooth two before too much time and before it can cause more damage, tooth three we can keep an eye on. So there you have it, groups of three strike again.
As if that isnt discouraging enough. The cost for one is close to $3000 or $1000 x 3!
Thank goodness things only come in three's, that was enough for one day!

Don't you have dental coverage?
I do. But it only pays $1500 a year! Woohoo!
Oh brother...don't tell me all this...I am right behind you with the implant process. Ross...my insurance pays 50% wich equalls about 1500 for me. Tell Darin that he might need to consider oral surgery. We all need him for our implants.
