hubby had to have four teeth extracted today. it would've cost $520. to have done. we've never, ever had dental insurance before and just got it this year. it cost us %53.60! what a blessing! we will now be able to afford what alot of us has needed.

i've never used dental insurance and it felt so cool. we've had to pay every penny our whole lives (one reason hubby's mouth was so bad Thankful for...).

we were just so excited and talked about it all day. it's delta dental. it pays very well. YIPPEE!

Congrads there KD, happy dancin for ya, As a follow Delta Dental girl. They paid awesome last year on my surgery. Didn't have one problem out of them. In fact I got a check back because I paid the Doc too much. Go figure. But the one thing that has been the greatest is that they paid to have my front 2 teeth bonded. Had Chicken pox when I was very little and it left my teeth discolored. They paid for it all. I cried when I saw how pretty my teeth were. It's a great feeling to go and know that you don't have to pay the full bill and wonder how you are going to afford it.

dental insurance is a good thing to have.. I dont have any so my mouth is in pretty bad shape... I open my mouth and a green misty gas bubble comes out and chases all the poor people around.. (taking it from spongebob when he ate a onion and ketchup sundae).

Congrats Kimmy. Glad to hear you were able to pay for it and that you now have money left over for other things. I need to go the dentist badly but can't afford it because Medicaid doesn't pay for dental.

((((((((((((((((((((jannie))))))))))))))))))))))))) thank you. i'm so sorry that you don't have that. can you go to a local hospital? we have a hospital close here where ppl who can't afford dentists receive treatment thru their dental.

can you call and ask? hoping for you...

Thats great that your insurance covered your husbands extractions. Insurance is pretty much a "must have" now adays.

i just talked to him at work, jagster. thanks for asking. he's very sore and just took his first pain pill for the day because he didn't want a cloudy mind.

he's very sore, but it doesn't compare to the two abcesses he had and the pain of that.

thanks again!

kd
