I'm going to the dentist thursday, and fully expect to hear that I need 2-3 crowns and maybe a root canal from the same damn thing.
wait until they tell you, that on top of the crowns, they'll need to do 3 $600 root canals. Its unbelievable the amount of money a person who brushes twice a day can spend on their grass grinders. |

I had several metal fillings done through the years by a bad local dentist.
After college I started having trouble. since then, I've had every one of them replaced. I've got 2-3 I've been told will need crowns soon, and I think soon is here this week. Started bothering me a little over the weekend. If they aren't done right, or get a chip and leak....eventually you're hosed. |

i'm tempted to just have them replace the old fillings and wait until the cracked ones actually start hurting. My mouth doesn't hurt at all ... they just saw these during a cleaning.

mine don't hurt, but I can tell something is different...
I'd tell you to get them fixed now....putting it off only makes the damage worse, the holes they have to drill deeper, and could absess and cause mundo-hurto. I'm not a dentist........but I have bought 2 of them houses I think. |

I'm having a $1500 root canal done right now.
The cost is bad. What really hacks me off is the number of times I've had to go to have procedures done, though. I'm on my third appointment to get this crap done. There may be even more. They never let me know at the outset that it was going to be this drawn out of a procedure. I have to freaking take off work every time I have one of these things done, and I don't like taking off work for stupid medical appointments. Another bad things is that most dental insurances cap out at around $2000 for the year, so if you're having a ton of procedures done, you might want to keep that in mind. Otherwise, you could be shelling out some serious dough once you pass the 2 grand limit.

If you'd stop crying they wouldn't have to postpone the proceedure.

This is a conspiracy. The truth is, the government knows how to prevent dental problems, but won't tell us, so that the dentists and the people making the crowns and dental stuff can make millions off of us.
It's true. I know it is, because I made it up.
