Dental Drama.

Tweet

I knew needing a new bridge, and having a cracked tooth was going to cost, so I put off going to the dentist. Do I fear dentists? No, I fear their bill. Today, I went, and yeah, it’s going to cost thousands. In addition, with the new work done, I’ll also need a new dental guard. Who can pay that? You guessed it, my long suffering father! Now, this dentist is a really good guy. About 16 years ago I needed a new bridge, and we were right in the middle of my mom’s dementia battle. It’s cheaper to put her in a nursing home, but we wanted to keep her at her own home. So there was no money. This wonderful dentist got together with his dental lab, and they paid for my bridge. It was a gold one too (he said he feared I’d crack a regular bridge due to my grinding teeth, even with a dental guard). This time, he said to bring my dad in, and they’d go over the treatment plan, and they’d work something out. I told him my dad will tell him to just do what needs to be done, but he told me he really wanted to catch up with him anyway. This is still going to cost thousands, but maybe not as many thousands as I feared. I hate costing people money. Tell me something good!
