Hardly.

I just haven’t gone to a dentist in the last four or five years. I don’t have a good excuse, I just haven’t. Something else I’m trying to change this year.

The crowns are from a broken tooth (mountain bike accident) and a ~20 year old filling that needs to be replaced. Both are preventative – neither is causing an issue right now, but she recommended crowns now before they become issues. Same thing for the fillings. I don’t have any pain or tenderness at all.

Let that be a lesson for you. Go to the dentist. Don’t be like me.

The worst part is paying for it all. My dental insurance sucks and caps out at $1000. 2 family members have already exceeded that #.

On a side note, I really like the new forum layout, but miss the "Today's Posts" button. It used to bring up all posts made in the last 24 hrs, regardless if you read them or not. Ususally I just use the "New Posts", but being at work, sometimes have to close the browser prior to reading them all. Next time I return, I hit New Posts again and only a few things show up that were created after I closed the browser.

There is a work around, by going to the advanced search and looking by date, but it's kinda a PITA.

So please, all mighty forum admins, bring back the "Today's Posts" button.

So many bad childhood memories of the dentist...
