Teeth are very expensive!!!!!

[Mark]

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.

I know how you feel mate, I have lost half of my teeth and the others are not that good, if I wanted to get the things done that I want it would cost about that and probably more.

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!"

:roflmao:

I've put over 5 years even though I can't remember just how long it is and the one I used has since retired.

well a re-post, as i was so rudely interrupted by the only tv show i actually enjoy watching..

last summer, i started getting chronic (no, not that chronic.) headaches. they came and went, but ultimately left me incapable of doing the simplest of tasks. so, one day i radioed the boss, and told him i was leaving early, cause i might just have to kill the next person i came across. mind you, he thought in his infinite wisdom that my problem was from "drinking all night". hearing that, i whipped up a few choice words to him, and went home. then the big boss, well his wife, ordered that i quote "get my ******* *** to the hospital"

so, against my will (im stubborn) i was driven to the ER, and being that i have no insurance, received the best of care </sarcasm> they gave me an intern, who was quite possibly younger than me, who, preceded to "treat" me. what he did was, in this order, shine a flashlight in my eyes, ask how old i was, and sent me home with a bottle of aspirin. a week later i recieved via mail, a $790 bill for "services rendered".
I tore out a sheet of loose leaf paper, wrote "GO **** YOURSELF!" put it in the envelope and mailed it back.

so after another week of agony, i was doing something, and had an epiphany. i had an impacted tooth. i was certain of it. (i read medical books when im bored) anyway, long story short, it turned out i had 4 impactted wisdom teeth, and the overall cost to have them removed was just over $2000.

after discussing it with my boss, ha actually had the scroat to say "thats a bargain!"
my retort.. "not when i only make $7000 working in THIS s***hole, a year, YOU A**HOLE!"..... he shut up after that. (it was a seasonal job, but none the less)

I would likely have extracted your front teeth at that time. Manual impact method.

Maybe you shouldn't mention those, when Dimesh is around.

i kept the trouble maker. it was growing in backwards and sideways into my skull. it serves as a reminder that tons of pain can come in the smallest of packages. (HA!) but seriously.... that **** hurt.

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.

Finally, I've found my purpose in life! :roflmao:

[mickey megabyte]

it's funnier if you say it in a cheesy chinese accent...

 

[jfar]

Yes it's a cracker.

I about died laughing the first time I saw it.

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.

~Lordbob

Exactly the same story here. I haven't paid more than 50$ for going to the dentist. By the way I've had my tonsils taken out when I was six or seven. The operation took holy 3 hours, at least that's what my parents say. My tonsils had badly been infected with tons of I-Have-No-Idea-What and they say I was a rare case. I expected that means a lot of money for the operation, but my parents say it ain't much. I can't imagine paying around 3000$ just for a tooth. I honestly never thought I'd say this, but THANK GOD I LIVE IN BULGARIA!!!

I worried that loses obtains the thing in the translation.

Now, that was funny.

Back in the day, we installed DragonSpeak Lawyer's Pack (whatever), and had the attorney configure his voice. Then, we (not the lawyer) took turns speaking "colorful" phrases into it and seeing what the output was.

You had to be there, but it was funny.
