I spent two very painful hours in the dentist's office yesterday just getting x-rays and a cleaning! They had a new technology where when they took the x-ray pictures of my teeth, it showed up on a computer screen right in front of me. Kind of a weird sight.
Anyway, apparently I grind my teeth so bad when I sleep that I needed a night guard like yesterday. They tried to sell me one for $475 but I think I'll opt for this $99 one I saw online. I have a wedding to pay for people! The dentist also suggested Invisiline (for $3,000) which my sister does have and raves about. I find this a tough pill to swallow, though, as I had braces as a teenager. Apparently my bottom teeth are just so tightly packed that I could have problems later on and it makes it difficult to floss. I'm going to have to hold off until after March 29th though.
I'm telling you...it's always something!

I had to get a mouthguard earlier this summer, and it set me back about $400. I still can't figure out why insurance doesn't cover more of that!
I would recommend investing in something -- even the $99 deal -- because I do sleep better now that I'm not grinding/clenching all night long...
Maybe you should put that on your registry!
