A visit to the dentist

I had an appointment at the dentist today. I drove there, even though it is within walking distance from my house. (Too cold or I would've walked!) I am thankful that my teeth are not nearly as bad as I thought. I do, however, need to go back next week. Not for fillings or drillings. I am getting an impression of my bottom teeth done. I've been wearing a night guard on my teeth to hopefully stop the grinding/clenching. My dentist wants me to wear a "good" one and I should wear it during the day AND at night. Unfortunately, our health insurance doesn't cover this. It will cost me $150. If it works, it will be money well spent. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
