[QUOTE="1shott, post: 3499209, member: 29"] Seriously dental care is important to your overall health, esp your heart. Yes bad teeth can lead to heart issues. Is it expensive, yes, dentist are golfers with a hobby. I had neglected dental care for well over 25 years. Things finally started to catch up in 2013. Started with a molar that broke that I had a root canal and crown on. That failed after 7 months and had to be pulled. Then nothing until 2018 when I had the worse tooth pain ever, made it to a different dentist, she said you need a root canal, no pull it, she did and good thing it was split in two to the roots. She said it would not have taken a root canal. I left with that tooth pulled and the area prepped for a bridge. That was december 2018, that started a course of dental visits that would last until Aug 2019. When all was said and done, I had 2 bridges, zirconia since gold was too damn expensive, 8 fillings and a entire deep clean. Total cost was just over $12,000. My out of pocket with my insurance was $5000. Expensive yes but in all honesty I am so glad I had it it done, I have no more teeth pain. I never realized how much my mouth had hurt before. Another dentist in town who would accept my insurance but out of network wanted $50,000 to do the same job LOL no thanks My dental insurance costs me $19 a month. To me its worth it. So go get those cleanings done twice per year. [/QUOTE]
