Anti-Dentite

SPEEDY MCCREADY

So I havent been to a dentist in over 20 years. Never had a problem with my teeth.
But I will be going to a dentist this coming week, and I have a feeling I am going to be spending lots and lots of money! YIPPIE! Have NEVER had dental insurance, and cant join the company plan until May 1st. YIPPIE!

Go ahead folks, here is your chance.
Tell me I am a fucking IDIOT!

:P <

Fuck 'em.

You haven't been for over 20 years? Why not just wait until May?

Went to the dentist for the first time in about 20 yrs as well 6 months ago. cost me about $250 for a chech up and to explain to me all the things I have done wrong. Just had a another cleaning this past thursday, have like 7 cavaties that need to be fixed...$1000 for the lot.
Told them that is going to have to be spread out over the yr I have no insurance either.

I figure I need my teeth and it is something I should do to help prolong them. But might not be saying that when I need a root canal

I say its a good thing

have fun.

Dude, I waited 7 years to go to the dentist (I just finally finished the last of 7 or so appointments since October)

4 fillings, a root canal, a temporary crown and a permanent crown later...

Luckily I was partially covered for these, but I'm still making payments. I haven't even gotten the bill for the root canal yet.

What a pain in the ass, but I'm just glad it's over. No more freezings or drilling sounds.

Be prepared for multiple visits, and yes - have your wallet handy! Lol

Well, from what I gather, I cant just sign up for insurance May 1st, and then announce 'I need a root canal". It doesnt work that way. Insurance wont cover any "major work" until I have been insured for a year.

That is what I have been reading on the internet the last few days. I would be THRILLED if someone could tell me different.

i wish i could tell you different, but i have no access to your plan.

It's not all worked out yet - what I pay and what my insurance covers. But the crown was $1500 and the root canal about the same. Fillings and cleaning another $600 or so.

My wife knows better than I do, lol

Thats just it. ALL dental plans suck. They all look like the 100-75-50% scenario.
Will pay 100% of a yearly cleaning.
75% of minor work(filling?)
But only cover 50% if you actually need "real work" done.

I have a strange feeling in about 6 months, my dental payment, will be equivalent to my car payment.

What are your teeth worth? A thousand or two is worth it in my opinion if you have a great smile and people you meet along your journey don't jump back in either horror or laughter. My two cents. Best of luck with the tooth doc.

Yeah don't forget to ask about toothache/pain and don't leave without a prescription for Tylenol 3's.

20 years is a long time man. Hope you don't have any problems.
