We ...If you want to make money, go into dentistry. We have dental insurance for all the good it does us. I haven't been to a dentist since 1989. I was going to start going this year, but my husband has had to have work done and we've spent so much money on his "insured" work that I can't afford to go - even WITH the insurance! My son goes regularly and we have to pay the full pop for that. <BR/><BR/>Pisses me off, too.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201047564459162438.post-51308368008372285192007-10-24T10:11:00.000+01:002007-10-24T10:11:00.000+01:00Holy smacking arseholes, and I thought my $900 AUD...Holy smacking arseholes, and I thought my $900 AUD for a root canal was expensive, no wonder you are pissed, I would be as well.<BR/>Hope your pain is not too bad as you wait for the extractions.

Depending on what teeth they were I'd probably opt for having them pulled out ... hmm ... maybe!!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740345393170781183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201047564459162438.post-59591004179426577332007-10-24T00:24:00.000+01:002007-10-24T00:24:00.000+01:00You have every right to be angry Nona.

I had a tooth pulled recently, which I have since found out wasn't a wise move, as now the other two teeth surrounding that one will overcompensate the loss of the tooth and wear out much faster. However, considering no dental service in Australia appears to offer a payment plan (you would have to get a loan from the bank and pay it off) I really had no choice. I was in agony, and other than footing a bill for $3000 for a full root canal, I had the tooth pulled out WITH PLIERS for a cost of $200.<BR/>My husbands front tooth is almost completely rotten, and we are having his teeth looked at in early Novemeber. I have put some money aside for this, but know it won't be enough, and we will have some big decisions to make as to what we do and what our options are.<BR/>You have every right to be pissed off. Here, we dont' have a choice where we go, many of the dentists are dodgy and charge like wounded bulls just because THEY CAN. What choice do we have but to pay? Our problem is actually finding a dentist who can fit you in.<BR/>Being on pain relief for 2 whole weeks is bloody unbelieveable. If I lived there, I would pop over, and we could make some phonecalls together to make some serious complaints!! But, hence, I am in Australia, so can only a virtual hug and say that SUCKS!!Siennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996261651645719451noreply@blogger.com
