That didn’t turn out how I thought it would.

Absolutely nothing was done. BUT, just as I was typing this to you, I got a text from my dad saying he found a dentist he knows who will do it cheaper. How much cheaper? I don’t know. But even if it’s $2,000 cheaper, that’s still $2,000 saved.

@DaddyEvil That’s excellent. You can’t beat free.

@AmbiePam I'm glad your dad is still looking for you. I was going to tell you to come here and go to the clinic in Springfield. They have a rota of dentists who volunteer their time. You never know who you're going to get but they go by income. The last time Pretty needed dental work before Missouri started Medicaid, they didn't charge us anything for pulling a tooth and putting in a filling for her.

I texted him to tell him how it went, and he said he thinks he found a dentist who will do it cheaper.

@AmbiePam Oh, that's wonderful!!

They won’t talk to the person not paying.

The dental school can’t get me in for a year. I’ll keep looking.

@AmbiePam Some of those community health clinics that operate on a sliding scale have dental programs with them. They vary in quality though. You need to read reviews carefully. The one that is associated with the clinic here is ridiculous..but there is one in a neighboring county that has good reviews. The trouble with that kind of thing though..is sometimes they won't take people from other counties or catchment areas, I think a way around it might be that you need specialized dental work only available in that particular office, It isn't a lie, it is usuually the better ones that have perio dontal or cosmetic. However, you would likely have to wait awhile for an appointment.

Exactly. It just wouldn’t be right.

After I texted him about this morning he texted me back he thinks he found a place to do it cheaper, with a good reputation. Even if it’s just a few thousand cheaper, that’s still saving quite a bit of money.

Yeah.
