sunday night blues

Bad news: So about a week ago, I started getting tooth sensitivity. Not even to hot or cold, just to pressure. I tried to ignore it for a few days, hoping it would not turn out to be a problem, but alas. It's turning rapidly into a full-blown ache. As this is one of the teeth I have the crowns on, I really don't have a good feeling about how this will develop.

Good news: My coworker assures me that dental work is covered under the national insurance plan.

Good news: I have found a dental clinic not very far from my apartment -- in fact, just a block or so down from my bus stop.

Good news: They are open until 6 PM on weekends, so I can stop by after school tomorrow and at least try and set up an appointment.

Good news: They're also open from 9-noon on Saturdays, which means that with any luck I won't even have to take a day of nenkyuu to get my tooth looked at.

Good news: The JET board seems to think that this particular dentist actually uses novacain (apparently not a guarantee in Japan.)

Bad news: Avatar 3x14 didn't air this week. Boo!
