I hope things get better, Haley. That's not a fun way to lose weight, but then again, is there a fun way to lose weight?

Haley Welcome Back!! You were missed... Glad to see you back and posting. Sorry about the root canals I know they are no fun.. But girl you take care of your teeth. I had 6 implants done within the last few mts. and other fun stuff.. so root canal to me is nothing. Be brave, I have to admit the implants didnt hurt at all when he placed them.. Just very expensive.. Judy and I both are going through this process.. I hope that your feeling better soon.....

Gina the root canal wasn't that bad, its just the pain that followed, still sensitive to cold, i think the tooth behind it is going to need one too, hopefully not, well see i go back Friday for about 3 more hours at the dentist office there going to redrill my back tooth cause there is a cavity under my filling and fit me for my crown, and if i have any more insurance money left over i have to get another crown that cracked... this stinks cause its only January and all my dental insurance will be used up. so i'm screwed for the rest of the year if something else happens..
but it needs done...
i dont understand i go every 6 months to get my teeth cleaned. and they didn't see the cavity under that tooth or my cracked crown until now... i could of had some of this done last year.. after all of this is done i'm going to another dentist im not to happy with this one..

I'm in the same boat Haley. I had to have a new crown put on (will finish the first of Feb), then I had the same thing as you, a tooth with a cavity under an old filling that has to be redone. Then I had part of a filling in ANOTHER tooth that came out and has to be replaced. I will have used up all my dental insurance for the year with these three procedures. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that nothing else happens until next October (when my new year starts again).

It stinks getting old hun Gayle,
I know what you mean its only January and i'll have all my insurance used up for the year were allowed 2,000, and i'm going to use it all soon, my root canal was 700.00 and i paid 20%, now i need two more crowns and a tooth filled and maybe another root canal.... oh this stinks....

At least you girls have dental insurance to help out!!! We don't have dental coverage and only major medical to cover us because we're self employed. We try to stay on top of our dental care with checkups every year. My husband complains but he still has his teeth!! Just be glad that you have the coverage that you do.

Diana the dental isn't all that great believe me, for the money you pay. you get one root canal and its used up, root canal 700.00 the crown wil be about 500.00 max per year for one person is 2,000....
