Went for a cleaning at the dentist on Monday.........
It's been a little over a year since I've gone. No excuse but I am working 2 jobs and have two little kids and my DH and I have opposite schedules. It's hard to make time for ME but I have learned a valuable lesson from that.
LONG story short but I need 3 crowns and I have 3 cavities. Sigh. The dentist said some of my fillings were cracking - probably b/c some of them are 10-15 years old and have been refilled more than once. This causes cracking over time.
According to the receptionist - we have good insurance and for all work to be done it will be about $1,000 out of pocket. I guess that's good considering all that will be done but that hurts my pocketbook.
My MIL just paid off DH's car so we DO have the money. (or will have it soon.) BUT like a fool I just paid $268 for stupid concert tickets and could have used that money too.
Either way, I will do one crown & one filling in July, one crown and one filling in Oct/Nov and one crown and the last filling in Jan/Feb 2010.
I edited this to apologize for any offense caused to anyone.

I was born, raised, and still live in the south and I thought your title was hilarious.
Just my opinion since everyone is jumping in to offer theirs.
Sorry to hear about your teeth. That is a lot of work to be done. I hate the dentist so much, I go for cleanings every 6-8 months so I don't need anything major done. But I know I have fillings that over 15 years old. Something will need to be done eventually.
