That was not a fun experience.  She couldn&#8217;t remove it so she sent me to their specialist clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Well after 2 appointments spread over 3 hours, they finally managed to remove the drill bit so that they could continue on with the original root canal as scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tell you how happy that makes me actually.  My dental insurance runs out on 31 May 2006, so I have between now and May to finish up the root canal and get 50-80% of the cost for that reimbursed.  Then, it&#8217;s just simple maintenance work from that point on.  I will warn my dentist that if she can&#8217;t finish by 15 May 2006, that I would rather use two dentists to make sure that the work gets completed.  No sense in paying full price for something I should be getting a discount on.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and I am at the airport right now.  Getting plastered.  I am in the SAS EuroBonus Gold lounge and I am a bit drunk.  5 glasses of reisling will do that to you.  But hey, I have got to celebrate being able to make progress on my tooth, right?  It&#8217;s the last piece of dental work I need before my mouth returns back to some semblance of normal.<\/p>\n<p>And finally&#8230;it&#8217;s another busy travel week.  I will be in Denmark tonnight, Helsinki tomorrow night, and then coming back to Stockholm on Friday to go to Berlin on Saturday for a long weekend.  I deserve it.  I have been good this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who don&#8217;t know&#8230;.the last time I visited my original dentist, she broke a drill bit in my tooth while doing a root canal.
