Ouch. In multiple ways.
I have a tooth that is far beyond a root canal and needs to be surgically extracted. I have a specialist appointment in a couple of months so I should find out how many of my firstborn children I'll need to give over then. After that there will be a couple of implants in my future, so many $$$ will be needed. I've been putting it all off much longer than I should but it is a lot of money. Watching my mother struggle to eat with bad teeth is highly motivating though.
have you considered dental tourism? Thailand is very popular, as is India. They are expert and much cheaper than here.
I'm so salty that dental isn't on Medicare
