I'm going to the dentist for a problem. I see that, while I thought it was going to minor, it's turning into a major $ project. I'll handle it, but I'm expecting it to be around $2,000 (for just one tooth!) by the time all is said and done. This really worries me because, as I ponder retirement after this year, I wonder if I could handle such an emergency while on a fixed income.
My daughter thinks dentists are scam artists. I've never felt that way, and I don't now either. But one tooth!???
