I thought about this thread this morning after having to have a chipped filling replaced. It was done by the "good" dentist within the last year, so there was "no charge" to me.
HOWEVER, when I was waiting at the front desk to find this out, they said that I HAD to make an appointment for a cleaning.
I desperately wanted to tell them, "NO, I don't HAVE to do ANYTHING you say."
But I was nice. I just said I had no time to wait, and that I'd have to call back later.

Man, time to take about 20 drops of iodine. I'm tired of waiting for this novacaine to wear off - must've given me a really deep shot! It's been 2 1/2 hours now and it's just now wearing off. Got those "itchies" that you can't scratch because your chin skin is still numb.
