Oh boy! The dentist!
Can I just say that getting a crown is a lot like buying new tires, only more expensive? They're both unpleasant and expensive, and you kind of end up with the functionality you originally had.
I had a tooth extraced and a bridge put in a little over a year ago and it STILL doesn't feel right. Bugs me depending on the weather. There are few things I spent more money on and enjoyed less - 'cept maybe taxes.
And it's amazing how closely the charge for the crown corresponds to the maximum annual dental benefit provided by most health insurers. Not that I'm claiming intent, or anything like that.
What a co inky dink. I had a crown done this morning. You're right, but so is Weer'd. The alternatives, implant or extraction, are either more expensive or don't work as well. Just one of the joys of getting older.
Beats the shit out of the alternative.

ReplyDeleteWeer'd, I have to agree with you. I don't have to like it, though. :-/
ReplyDeleteASM826, ouch. And I thought the dentist was painful then ...
Paladin, having it done on April 15 would just be too depressing for words.
Bob, you mean people figure out how the system works and adjust their behaviors to maximize their benefit? Please, please don't tell Congress!
TOTWTYTR, it is best to do what needs doing. I have being a grown up ...
