My dh just went to the dentist and it is going to cost $375 to do his teeth. We put all our medical bills on the credit card and pay them monthly. We don't have this money, again to do this! It really has to be done now as he has bad teeth (mostly because his mother never gave a crap about her kids teeth) and now "I" have to pay for it!!!

It is really annoying, isn't it! Too bad husbands do not come with warranties. ;-)

Once upon a time we spent close to five grand on his teeth and then we got divorced - he got nice new teeth and I got the bills.

Wow, bummer news. BUT you are right, he has to get the work done now -- we put off some work on my husband's teeth and are totally paying for that mistake now at a lot more $$$$.
I'd say you have to "bite the bullet" but maybe "bite" isn't the word you want right now.
Good luck, and much sympathy.

They said they want half in 2 weeks when he gets the work done and then will bill us for the other half. We DO save for medical bills each week but between my pills and my dd's medication, we are only able to save an extra $10/month!
