Will get hit by $3168 for dental work...

[Hector]

...starting tomorrow at 8am PST.

I have neglected follow up check ups since 2007...plus there was a period when I got sick and had zero dental care...so I accumulated a lot of plaque under my gums...so I'm all set up for a deep cleaning...all four quadrants...local antibiotics, irrigation, custom-build occlusal guard for my teeth grinding, numbing anesthetic gel...plus two maintenance followups...and of course...tooth polishing.

I had taken estimates with various dentists...and this quote was the cheapest one...I have dental insurance...but it only covers about 30%...had I not had any dental insurance...the bill would've been $4419...

You know what's the weirdest thing about the whole thing is?

ZERO CAVITIES!!!!

Yes...I have NO cavities whatsoever...

Well...that's not all folks...I'm scheduled for follow up surgery related to my past medical problems...this is to finalize everything...it's to repair an ongoing hernia...and corrective cosmetic surgery to correct my bellybutton.


Yes...now you wonder why Southern California Mini-Meet is not looking too good at the moment...

Yikes. Sorry about the dental. Sounds like a long procedure, too.

[Hector]

Two stages plus two followups...

For that price U could come to Poland, have your teeth done, and still be left with change. My auntie regurally comes over from the England to have her teeth done, because its so much cheaper. Thats crazy.

On a of subject, my friends dog(USA) swallowed a tennis ball, not known to her at the time,the dog was very sick. No operations, just over night drips, scans, and eventually it came out. She paid $1700, with a discount. She would of paid around $250 here.
