I spent the morning doing laundry and the afternoon at the dentist. How's that for fun?
I had an old gold crown replaced. I was hoping it'd be relatively simple and straightforward. The old crown popped right off, but underneath was a mercury filling. Apparently, this is quite common, but they don't know ahead of time, as there's no way to see it. My dentist is a holistic one, which means he takes mercury removal very seriously. I've been through this before and he has all the necessary equipment. It went quickly and was painless. And I now have a new "porcelain" crown. Of course, I'm a lot poorer, but that's another matter.
