My soul's a bowl of jokes

Remember several months ago when I wrote about seeing a new dentist? Well I finally made it there today. Here are some notes:

LL Perio scale&root pln-4+per quad
LR Perio scale&root pln-4+per quad
UR Perio scale&root pln-1-3th quad
UL Perio scale&root pln-1-3th quad
Periodontal Maint
2 Resin composite-1s, posterior
3 Crown buildup, includ any pins
3 Crown-porc fuse high noble mtl
12 Resin composite-1s, posterior....

BLAH BLAH BLAH $8,348.00

Let this be a lesson to you - don't have teeth.

I've cancelled this year's vacation plans - and I'm ok with that. I should have had this taken care of a long time ago. And so I will. Not that I have $8000 - That I'll have to figure out.

I guess the only question I have is if I'm going to have $8000 in work done, at least get some diamonds worked in?

Holy crap! And I thought that $400 for a crown from my dentist was ridiculous (and that's after insurance).

Crowns are $1000. I need some.

Rumor has it that work does reimburse some of the expense, so I'll be looking into that.
