My Trip to the Dentist (Contest Continues)
Well, as some of you know, I went to the dentist yesterday for the first time in 17 years. I know, that's horrible of me, considering we've had a decent dental plan for at least the last 2 years, if not a little longer. So my first visit included counting of my teeth, an x-ray on each side, and a counting of cavities. LOL, I'm ashamed to say that I have 7 cavities. And they say I'll need at least 3 cleanings. Thank goodness for the plan. EVERYTHING is covered!!! They quoted me $685.00 for the fillings I will need. Plus the cleanings. Yesterdays Appointment was $72.00 - again covered.
Now, we pay out of our bums for this plan, $160/month. But, right now, it is completely worth it. Now, I just have to try and get as many of these appointments in this year as possible, That way Jan 1, I get to start over again. YeAh!!!
So, wish me luck, and hopefully it will be painless. LoL

Yuck on the cavities but thankfully you don't need more then the cavities filled!
I know, horrible. I'm shocked that my teeth don't hurt. (Half the reason I never went) I will need my wisdom teeth pulled eventually as my lower front teeth are being pushed out of place. But for right now, I'll do what's covered. I wonder if we can make the wisdom teeth "Preventative Care" as that's what is covered 100%
Apart from lawyers, dentists must be the most hated beings on this earth. I feel sorry for them, but I'm still not going to like them!
I HATE the dentist. I've been afraid since I was a child. I would actually vomit because I was so scared. My DH's benefits plan at work pays 100% for dental. Have I been to the dentist in the past 3 years since the plan came into effect? No. I should make an appt.
