Moved Up Dentist, Started New Student, doggie mats

September 1st, 2010 at 04:33 am

Sabbath morning I woke up feeling yucko and my tooth really bugging me. All day Sunday it got progressively worse. Finally Monday morning came, and I called the dentist and changed my build-up/temp crown appt. from the 21st to today.

Dmontngrey - my tooth is/was cracked/cracking, so a crown should work well enough. If not, then in a couple years maybe I'll have dental insurance again and/or will be in a better financial position to afford a root canal and crown.

I started with a new Korean student today. A girl. She is really super sweet. So now I have Korean boy and Korean girl. Smile They both are about the same age I think, although one is a Junior and the other is a Senior.

With the 3 students I now have, I can make up to $900 a month. A fourth student will probably start next week, and will give me another potential $100/ month.
Four students would be a total of about 12 1/2 hours a week actual tutoring, plus another 6+ hours commute. That is about perfect with my school load this semester.

Any ideas on how to keep mats from forming in a Maltese's fur? Before Buddy was groomed, I brushed him 3 or 4 times a week and he never had a mat. Since he was professionally groomed, within three days he had at least two mats. I was able to work one out, but the other one was too set. He now has a total of four mats, one fairly good size. (I took care of him while mom was on her trip, and we're keeping him till after his vet appt. on Friday.)

    Sure hate to see you go through the crown process twice, should it come down to that. Frown Always better to do things right the first time. Don't get me wrong, I sure hope you DON'T experience pain a couple years down the line!! It just happens more often than not.

    Do you have a slicker brush for Buddy? Takes a bit of time and patience, but they work great on mats!

    Thanks Dmontngrey. I don't particularly want to go through extra pain myself ... I'm just trying to minimize what I'm accepting as monetary gifts/loans from family. Later on, when I can afford it on my own, I may choose to go the route you suggested.

    No, I don't think we have a slicker brush for him. That is a good idea though. Thanks!

    I hope this one takes and that you are out of pain soon! There is nothing quite as bothersome as tooth pain, it leads everything to feel like a chore. I would recommend dental insurance, but it is often terribly expensive with poor coverage. Good luck with the dentist!
