Just last Sunday I went to my oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth pulled.
I was supposed to get them unconnected about three years ago but I forgot about it and I had other things I like to do doing than to be laid up for a few mornings.
Turns out that since I am now on my own dental insurance and that I haven’t been on it for a year, I have to pay the full amount with no assistance from my insurance! My dental bill is going to be high but it’s worth it since once they’re unconnected then the rest of my teeth won’t move around. When arrived to the dental office to get the procedure done I instantly felt chilled. I had sweatpants and a sweatshirt on with my coat on and I was still cold. I was told that I had to disconnect my coat, but I didn’t want to. It felt like their office never heard of heat! When I walked by temperature control on my way to the dental room, I saw that the temperature read sixty-five degrees! I thought this was ridiculous and I couldn’t stop shivering. I thought that the reason why they had the temperature control so low was most likely for the healthcare worker when he’s removing my wisdom teeth. I thought that maybe he sweats a lot so the cool air would minimize the covered in sweat. I just wished that the healthcare worker thought of his patients before himself, even if the temperature control was set to seventy degrees I would be happy. Some sort of heat would have been great.
