I just got back from the dentist’s, and he just did the permanent filling today. We’re going to wait on the crown until next calendar year, when I can use FSA dollars. So instead of shelling out $500 today, I only had to pay $47 (plus the $30 from my last visit). That means by the end of August, I’ll have enough to pay cash for the second root canal and pay part of the crown for the second tooth in cash. (That one can’t wait.) So my CC balance won’t take the big hit I was anticipating, which is nice.
Congrats on surviving the dentist’s appointment and saving money. I’m jealous at the prices, though. My dentist charged me € 1,000 when he made my crown. And implantats are even more expensive. Makes me think about going to Hungary to have them. There are quite a lot dentists over there who offer appartments for rent and treatment to dream-prices.
My dentist used to be a civil engineer, and yes, he really did build bridges for a living. Makes me scared to open my mouth.
