You know how when you were little the tooth fairy would leave a quarter or (if you were lucky) a dollar under your pillow in exchange for your newly pulled baby tooth? Well that quarter and dollar pale in comparison to the amount of money it takes the dentist to pull, drill, fill and cap the left over teeth. Where is this hatred for teeth coming from? Let me explain.
First of all I HATE teeth!!!! I don't like them at all, they are gross and bacteria filled! I hate going to the dentist not only because of the drills and needles but because of them touching my teeth with instruments (though sterilized) used on someone else's teeth. EEEWWWW!!!! But you have to go are you will wind up like my loving husband.
We went to the dentist yesterday to have our teeth cleaned and to have Justin's "bad teeth" inspected. We walked out 2 hours and $400 later. That was just for that day!!! I am happy to announce that I have nothing wrong right now and my wisdom teeth look good!! Justin on the other hand did not fair so well. He had to have a deep cleaning which he will finish up on the 20th since he was bleeding too much!!!! and several x-rays!! We were also told of the wide array of procedures that need to be conducted for him to have a healthy mouth. The original quote was almost $8000.00 but since I have no dental insurance and Dr. Bernard is the bomb.com he discounted most of the work to a little under $5000.00 before medication!!! That is still ALOT of mullah!! I feel bad for Justin because his teeth do bother him a lot more then he lets on and because of all the work he will have to get done.
I guess our budget just got a bit tighter.
