Found: one dentist!

Praise the Lord, huge answer to prayers! I found an amazing dentist here in LA who accepts my insurance and who does not think that anything is wrong with my mouth, namely, that I do not need a nightguard. He even gave me a free toothbrush and floss, just like my dentist in Michigan. And he gave me a little calendar to keep track of my next appointment with him in six months. I found a winner, yes indeed. This just goes to show that we as consumers have an amazing freedom of choice- and that if I don't like the dentist I'm with or uncomfortable with the way he's treating me, I don't have to stay. But for now, I have found a great dentist and I'm so happy! Now I just have to check off eye exams on the list and I will be a walking picture of health.
