I went to the dentist yesterday. The good news is that I now have clean shiny teeth (thanks Alice!). The bad news is that I need to have a crown replaced and root planing on the upper left quadrant. The crown will cost about $900 (assuming Dr. Peterson hasn't raised his prices since the last crown he did for me a couple years ago), and the root planing will probably be at least $250 (again, that's what they charged for one quadrant a few years ago).
I've been unemployed for 15 months. I haven't had health or dental insurance since December 2010. I've found a clinic for the medical-related stuff. They have a dental clinic too, but the dental professionals I've spoken with wouldn't recommend it, except as a last resort. So anyway, I've decided to try this Chip In thing and see if it works. Even a little help will be ... well, helpful!
Thank you so much!
