I lost part of a tooth this morning. I thought it was an extra crunchy bit of cereal. I'm doing my best to take care of my teeth, and I did get a couple things fixed while I was in the Netherlands, but not everything.
In Canada, even with insurance, dental work still is expensive. Without it, I think I can only go in an emergency, and I don't think this is one. It doesn't hurt. I just have a sharp tooth edge I can feel against the inside of my lip.
This is scary, but not really new in my life I guess. Hopefully I'll hear on residency soon.

Dentures, glasses, and hearing aids, and posssibly wheelchairs and canes and things. Medicare doesn't cover dental, vision, or hearing, at all. WHat sense does that make?
