I’m only now just catching up with my posts after a hectic morning of errands and the dentist. Well, I should say, the hygienist. And now, not only am I sat here nursing my poor sore mouth after her battle with the plaque—in which I think the plaque won—I am also out of pocket by a considerable amount of money: $299
I nearly suffered a hernia when the receptionist handed me the bill. I mean, come on people, two hundred and ninety nine dollars? There’s definitely money to be made in dentistry. A third of the bill was for a full scan X-ray of my teeth with one of those revolving X-ray machines. Then, another third for a 5 minute consult with the dentist to tell me I had two small cavities forming (which of course means more visits and money.) And then, the last third was for the actual clean and polish by the hygienist. Yikes!
There goes everyone’s Easter eggs.
I better start saving for my next appointment.
