[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 4671578, member: 561910"] So i went to the dentist today for the first time in probably 4-5 years. I know, thats a stupid long time but i dont have insurance and was scurred of what they would tell me. Well anyways, i noticed a tooth seemed to have a hole in it last week and it freaked me out enough to get me into the dentist. I was thinking it was probably like a super cavity and i would need like a root canal because when i feel it with my tongue its like the thing is hollow. So ya i go in and get all the x-rays and shit and find out that its not a super cavity, it was a filling that had fallen out. So the good news was that it doesn't need a root canal but the bad news is that i have 8 cavities that need to be filled, plus the redoing the filling that fell out. I knew dental shit was spendy but Jesus Christ, for 9 fillings, cleaning, x-rays, and nitrous they want $1400! Thats WITH a 5% cash discount. She actually reccommended I get a crown on the filling that came out, but that's another $1200. She said i could get by with another filling for a few more years and if money was an issue i should probably just get it refilled and take of the other cavities before they get worse. Does that seem expensive?! [/QUOTE]
