Yesterday I had to get a crown on my tooth.
It’s my second and I have to say, not my favorite part of getting older! But at least I have a dentist I trust implicitly and who has a sense of humor. If you are stuck in the chair for 2 hours, you might as well do your best to enjoy it!
I had my iPhone in my pocket and was tweeting about running away after they took the first pictures of my teeth. (I wasn’t in love with the guard they put in my mouth – it hurt! But after complaining and being called “high maintenance” – in a joking way of course – I got to go the old fashioned cotton route – much better!)
Dr Densley’s office is very hi-tech and implements new procedures and technology all the time. When I had my first crown 2 years ago, it was a two appointment procedure involving a temporary crown, anti-biotics that wreaked havoc on my stomach to make sure I didn’t get an infection, and going back for the permanent crown.
But that was then and this is now! Two hours and I was done! As hi-tech as Dr. Densley is, he hasn’t a clue when it comes to Twitter or Facebook so I was educating him in the ways of social media. He got into it and had me start tweeting pictures.
I was fascinated by the whole process so I did a little iPhone video and thought I’d share it with any others who like to see how technology changes all areas of our life. Here is a short video showing my crown being made, right in the office!
I took an informal poll on Twitter and Facebook – which is worst, getting a crown or paying for it?
Paying for it won, no contest! 
I also decided it would be fun to get a party tiara or crown on my way out – leave the dentist office smiling. Don’t you think that would add some humor to the experience?
Hope your day was less eventful!

P.S. If you need a dentist in Portland / Hillsboro Oregon areas – I highly recommend Drs Densley and Call at Century Dental. (Tell them I sent you – I get a free cleaning for referrals!)
