Survived the Torture

I survived.  It was painful.  Even though it was a cleaning, he still poked and prodded with sharp instruments.  At one point, all I could taste is blood.  Just when I thought it was over, he pulled out the pokers and started again.  To finish, they told me I need another crown.  The woman at the front desk was trying to convince me that $600 + was a great deal because I had insurance.  I didn't think so.  I have to decide whether to go through with it or not.
