Dental Expense

Yesterday hubby got off work early and we went out looking for a dentist. I needed an overhaul with my teeth. This dental work is long overdue. I always put it off. We are covered with our dental insurance but still the co-pay is very expensive. I needed one extraction and new dentures. I am wearing a 5 teeth denture plus a new addition hopefully. The last time in Georgia, the price quoted by my dentist less our insurance coverage is almost $700 just for one dental work - root canal and new crown (for a tooth). Golly it's more than enough as downpayment for a property in the Philippines. I didn't go for it yet because it is very expensive for me. And now hubby told me I need to have it done before he leaves for deployment. So we found one yesterday and tis afternoon I will have my first dental check. Hopefully everything will be alright. I will just close my eyes when we get the bill.
