[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 530735, member: 2211"] My dentist will do any work that needs getting done in the same day---if he has time, which he usually does. But, yes, Donna, I know what you mean, all that rescheduling means extra dollars from our insurance. No one really goes to the dentist much except for cleanings, except H. difficult child also, if she actually went. She has severe anxiety when seeing the dentist and has to take a Xanax, even for cleanings. Pita. So, I found an endodontist in my insurance, he's about 40 minutes away but at least I will have more coverage. They asked me if I needed work done, will I want to do it that day. Well, duh, yah, I do. If they need to do a root canal, they will drill through my existing crown and then fill it. That sounds weird to me. Anyway, in the meantime, my reg dentist has prescribed me amoxicillin to stave off any infection. I hope that doesn't me that when I go to the endo next friday I'm asymptomatic, Know what I mean?? Grrr. Anyway, I pay around $17/month for my dental/vision/life/add, which isn't a bad deal, we have decent coverage if we stay in the network. Orthodontic is not covered. I paid $5000 out of pocket EACH for difficult child and easy child's braces! And, of course, neither wore their stupid retainers so pcs bottom teeth are crooked and difficult child's top teeth are pointed out. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
