A few months ago, I finally made the decision to start making regular trips to the dentist. I hate going to the dentist and the fact that I had had no cavities or tooth problems of any kind up to that point, helped me to convince myself that I only needed to go once in a while.
I had my first filling and it wasn't so bad, and I even went through the hoops of getting the x-rays done so that I could just start coming regularly to this same dentist.
Now my company has told us that they switched dental providers and that our coverage wouldn't change at all, but we would need to sign up again. So I did, and then after hearing from someone else that their dentist wasn't on the new plan I looked for mine. Sure enough, not on the list. So now, in 4 months when I have to go back, I will have to find a brand new dentist and have everything faxed over from my old dentist and go through all this "getting to know your teeth" stuff again with a whole new person.
Obviously this isn't a life and death problem, but it's annoying. It's hard enough to convince myself to go to the dentist without having to jump through all the hoops again.
Oh well, I guess sometimes insurance can chew you up. It bites, but what can you do but keep grinding away?
