I'm going to see the dentist today for the first time in over a year. I'm psyched, because I really want my teeth cleaned and have someone take a look at my wisdom teeth, which have been giving me some trouble as of late. I probably should have flossed more in the last year, but there's nothing I can do about that now.

There was also this issue about whether or not I was going to have coverage which got cleared up last week. The consulting company I work for offers benefits. They're not great, but they offer them. I signed up for basic coverage, just to have it, but somehow there was a technical snafu, and I was told that I didn't have dental and there wasn't anything I or they could do about it until the next open enrollment period, this time next year. I was pissed because I know I signed up for dental, so I requested they do an investigation. They did and, although they didn't call me when they discovered the truth, I had to call them, the end result is that I now have coverage and will get my teeth taken care of for 10 bucks or so.

Even better, there's a traveling dental group that comes to my workplace, so I just need to hunt down the right office on our massive campus, and I don't have to drive to some dental office in Oakland or Berkeley. Such convenience.
