Today was a good Monday. No major events or issues. I'm sure glad I don't live in the Northern states since the wind chills are expected to get well below 0 degrees in several of the states in the next few days.
I was looking through my desk the other day, straightening things but also looking for the gift cards which I found and used on Saturday. Anyway about a year ago I had an abscessed tooth and I went to an oral surgeon who performed root canal right through a crowned tooth (the abscess was under the tooth beneath the crown). After the appointment the doctor wanted a follow up a appointment a year later to check on it and make sure the abscess was gone. I got an appointment card and sort of remembered I had an appointment coming up sometime this month.
Well you guessed it. I found my appointment card and I missed it. It was for Jan 22nd. I really thought their office would call and remind me of the appointment. I guess I'm spoiled as my regular dentist office calls before my appointments. I even get email reminders for my hair appointments. But an appointment that was made for a YEAR later... no call? I didn't do anything about it. I have been trying to find any information as to whether going back a year later is really necessary. I have no symptoms any more and that crown is still there, etc., so I am not sure I really need to go back. I would think if it didn't get all taken care of with the root canal, it would have presented some symptoms of returning long before a year later.
I have my regular dentist appointment next month so I think I'll wait until then and ask her if I really need to go back to that other oral surgeon at this point? I figure one extra month isn't going to matter since it has already been a year. ;-0)
