I just got home from the dentist with appointments for $1200 of dental work to be done in the next few months. 6 major fillings. I just had several other big fillings done a few months ago. Every time I go to the dentist they find more work that has to be done. Not usually $1200 worth, but I am constantly paying dental bills. And I have no idea how I'll come up with the payments for $1200 worth of dental work. I have a feeling I'll have to space it out more but it has to be done in the next 6 months so that it is done before my next check-up adds more to the list.

This is all from my meds. I had hoped it would be better since I no longer have dry mouth so badly (Clozaril causes excess saliva) but apparently not.

I'll admit to not being fabulous with dental care while I was so sick for so long. And I didn't do a good job at all using the extra flouride treatment I am supposed to use because it easily gags me. I'm using it now but it hasn't had time to work.

I am so frustrated. I just want money to be NOT stressful and stupid dental bills just ruined that for the next many months. I was actually doing ok until this.

so sad...
