just how much I CAN'T STAND dentists?  I have always avoided them like the plague and with good reason, nothing good ever comes from them.  I have excellent teeth, so why should I go see them to do what I manage to do on my own?  My latest visit with the dentist was this morning and I went to see about getting my front tooth fixed.  There isn't anything terribly wrong with it, but for Joni I figured I'd get it taken care of.  Should have been no problem..in and out in 30 minutes...well now the bastard wants $500 to redo a root canal that I had done 13 years ago.  I couldn't just leave well enough alone?!?!  This is in addition to the $300 or so it will take to do the initial fix up.  I think this dentist spends more time looking for shit to fix then actually fixing things.  Now you see why I hate them so much?
