Just had a root canal on Monday..with insurance it cost me $575.
Tuesday..receive a check from gov't for $575.
Apparently paid too much in taxes a couple years ago.
[thumbsup]
If you had just kept your teeth healthy you'd have had an extra $575 in your pocket...
+1 shouldn`t have skimmed on the toothpaste ;D
[cheeky]
Yeah, I purposely don't brush so I can take time off work and get high on Vicadin and nitrous at the dentist!!
It's a perfect plan!!
Yeah, but then the hot dental assistant thinks you have yuck mouth...
I thought this was yet another thread about you getting a nail in your tire. ;D

Oh no you didn't, Randimus.
or that 575$ you overpaid could have been earning interest [thumbsup]

Lucky you. I went in for 1 last cleaning before my dental runs out and found out that I have 6 cavities. [roll] Luckily my dentist was able to get me in to have them filled before my insurance ran out but it still sucked.
hubby needs 4 root canals.
even WITH dental insurance, it's gonna cost us $1000 each root canal.
there goes a new bike :'(

Holy F!
I need to get 4 wisdom teeth yanked out of my skull. To the tune of Much Dinero.
Then my sister told me about an NIH program where they yank out your wisdoms for FREE as long as you give them a tissue and bone sample, each as big as a pencil tip, no biggie.
Wonder if they do the same thing for root canals?

I hope your dental insurance premiums aren't high. That's ridiculous.
Just got back from getting crown put on and prepped for another.
The new Croatian dental assistant distracted me until the dentist came in so I didn't get prepped with the nitrous!!
>:( >:( F*CK!! !!
NEVER AGAIN!
I HATE that drilling sound. I feel like I worked out for 10 hours straight cuz my muscles were tensed the entire time. >:(
I don't care if I have to go in for a cleaning next time..I'm getting nitrous!! [laugh]
So, anyway..I walked in with my Ducati Austin shirt on and the assistant started on all the Ducs her husband had..Monster, then 749, then MV Augusta..back to Ducati with 848 and now the new 1100. She knew her stuff!!

Clearly with what they're charging for tooth extraction, she can afford the toys.

That was the assistant's husband. She was actually a dentist in Croatia..but here..they won't let her practice without more US schooling.
Not that hot TIB.

to my way of thinking, he would have $1160.00 in his pocket...
...extra is a relative term
Ahhh, good point...
It happens to you all the time.
You remove nail in tire, another one comes and takes its place. nails, tires, locations...
I figured it was a regular occurrence.
