Teeth suck

Monday, February 25, 2008 | |

I will be extracting my second molar this Friday. I plan on getting an implant when it heals but it will cost over $4000 to do so and I really can't get my mind around spending that much on one tooth. Mainly because I will need at least 2 right away and 2 more in the very near future. That's the cost of a small car or all of our credit card debt. I guess I'll see how I do without that molar and if I can chew without a problem, I might wait a year or two since I already have one missing molar from '03 on the other side. I hate teeth but I hate being poor even more!

I know all about it! I have a top molar removed and it's not that bad. I can chew fine. I just had to pay for a crown, and yes being poor sucks!

(((HUGS))) Hope it goes well for you, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

$4g's is a staggering #, I think I'd be choosing to be minus a molar as well.
