Hay fever?

It was cool today. It poured and thundered at night. I wonder if it'll be a nice day tomorrow.

I have a stuffy nose recently. I wonder if I have hay fever. Also, my eyes get tired easily these days.  I wonder if it's because I'm always on my PC. Furthermore, I have a canker sore in my mouth.

Maybe I should pay better attention to what I eat.

Horrible Experience of Dental Care in the U.S.

I would like to write about my horrible experience of root canal treatment in the United States.

Last year, my gum became swollen. At that time I was in State M. I was recommended to do a root canal treatment. After visiting twice, I met a regular dentist, who recommended me not to cover the tooth with crown.

She said, "Your tooth may become worth. Thus, it is a waste of money to cover it with crown."

Accordingly, I left my tooth as is. Then, I moved to State V.

One year later, the gum - exact same place - became swollen again.

Because I had already moved to State V, I looked another dentist. When I met a new general dentist, he recommended me to take a 3D X-rays.

I had no idea about 3D X-rays, but according to the dentist, it is a cutting-edge technology in the United States, which is not available in Japan right now.

Then, I went to a new root canal specialist referred to by my new regular dentist, who recommended me to take a re-treatment of root canal, instead of taking a 3D X-rays. According to the specialist, 3D X-rays is expensive, and it may be a waste of money. Also, he said that the first general dentist should have covered my tooth with crown.

Thus, I took a re-treatment of root canal. I am waiting for the outcome.

Why all dentists say different things?
And why the dental care in the U.S. is so expensive?

Welcome to my blog!

Hi folks,  nice to meet you!

I started this blog as my diary. I just want to record my interesting days in the United States.

While I'm a beginner blogger, I do my best to keep it.
