Teeth are very expensive!!!!!

[pacinitaly]

Hello Friends,

I just got back from the dentist (have not been in 20yrs)
I had a tooth ache for 4days.
today, I had to pay $2469 for ONEroot canal.
I have to go back in 3 weeks for the crown. the pain stopped in my mouth but the pain in my wallet is killing me more than the 3hrs of drilling.

No insurance, no $$$ in checking account/savings. Had a $30,000 credit line with my credit card ( I owed $22,300 already now added $2469 )

I wished I had my teeth taken care of when I had a good job

Please be advised, don't be like me and wait for a pain in your mouth B4 you go to the Dr.

how long has it been for you to see the dentist?


stay well all,

~Carmine

Want the punch line?

A root canal is not a permanent fix and can fail within days. Not common, but possible. Nonetheless, the root canal will ultimately fail. If you live long enough.

You live in the wrong country. I had tons of dental work done (over a 2 year timeframe), crowns, implants, a big bridge, etc. - and I never paid a penny. Health insurance did.

It will never happen here

My brother and sister inlaw are both dentists. I get it done free.

I go to the doctor every 6 months becuase my parents are health nuts like that (I cant get mom to shut up about calories).

I have never had a problem like that, but I usually have two or more cavities.

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist.

"I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want Novacaine because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way."

The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?"

The woman turned to her husband and said, "Show him your tooth, dear."

5 years or more here... I don't remember the last time I went. If I go, it's 300$ min. If I go and make the surgery I need, it'd be 10000$ and MUCH MORE. Seriously.

You might be sorry you mentioned anything about wisdom teeth,
when a certain ant sees this post.

One day, a man walks into a dentist's office and asks how much it will cost to extract wisdom teeth.

"Eighty dollars," the dentist says.

"That's a ridiculous amount," the man says. "Isn't there a cheaper way?"

"Well," the dentist says, "if you don't use an anaesthetic, I can knock it down to $60. But it will be pretty painful."

"That's still too expensive," the man says. "It does not matter how painful it is."

"Okay," says the dentist. "If I save on anesthesia and simply rip the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I could get away with charging $20. That could be more pain then you can stand."

"Nope," moans the man, "it's still too much."

"Hmm," says the dentist, scratching his head. "If I let one of my students do it for the experience, I suppose I could charge you just $10."

"Marvelous," says the man, "book my wife for next Tuesday!"

Great wisdom

Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

No one is listening until you fart.

Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a bad example.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.

Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it in your pocket.

Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side & a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse.
