A Queen Gets a Crown

[bjarvis]

The chipped tooth now has a temporary crown attached. I go back on the morning of Nov 14 for the permanent crown, all for the low, low price of $1,138. Bugger.

Adding insult to injury, there is still another tooth which may need a crown in the next year and two fillings my dentist wants to replace. It was a good thing he informed me of all of this extra work & expense while my face was still too numb to express anything.

I love the way dental insurance covers only the most miniscule amount of the expensive procedures.

Well, put on your white gloves, grab your handbag, and give us all the Betty Windsor Wave.

It's not clear at the moment how much this will cost out of pocket. I have to pay the dentist up front, then his staff submits the lot to Aetna Dental to see what they'll cover.

On the good side :-^, I had $500 in my medical savings account which has to be used up soon so now I don't have to worry about forfeiting that lump.

well I hope at least you put the payment on a credit card that gets you airmiles or something similar

(startling how many points I got via my dentist)
