Dental Emergency... of Sorts

This morning, on my way to Camberville, eating a stale wasabi-flavoured rice cracker, my cracked molar finished the job.

The dentist wants $75 to smooth down the silver filling. [I am on Mass Health, and the dental coverage does not include fillings or crowns, but does include extractions... *sigh*] I am waiting the weekend out to see if this bothers me (and one of the Thursday shares at the farm suggested that I could file it down myself with an emery board.)

On top of everything else, I have a list of dental clinics that work with Mass Health to provide crowns and fillings. Wish me luck. Tufts Dental School is also on the list.
