Hi Everyone!
I'm just ranting.
As most of you know I went to the dentist yesterday. Am I just living in the twilight zone for prices on EVERYTHING?
I had a comprehensive exam a few months ago and everything was fine. That doctor retired. I stayed with the people that took over the practice.
Today I had to go in because my upper partial was too tight and making my back tooth hurt. I fixed the partial myself. But wanted to make sure the back tooth was OK.
I'm scheduled to get new partials in 2 weeks. I have saved for that.
Today's visit cost me $358.00 for them to take 2 exrays and look at my back teeth. He said the back tooth is fine and I most likely upset the tendon. However, the tooth next to it has a small cavity right at the cap line. He showed me the exray. Fortunately I do read exrays, and sure enough there was a problem. He said he would have to remove the cap fix the problem and put a new cap on. Are you ready for this?
$3,000.00 Yes, 3 grand.
Lord have mercy. There is no way I can do this. Mr. M. says, just bite the bullet put it on the credit card and we will deal with that as we can.
It just seems ridiculous that everything costs so much.
OK, I'm done ranting. I hope all of you have a really wonderful Saturday.
Nicole.
