that's a lot of gum

My periodontist told me today she'd like to schedule me for a gum graft for a couple of problem areas. I thought that sounded unpleasant, but was willing to go along with her game plan until the front desk people said it would be $1870. HAHAHAHAHA HA. And HA. (The total without insurance would have been a little over $2400. Our crappy DMO will give us a 25 percent discount, but that's it.)

I'm going to go with Plan B, which is to pretend the periodontist was just kidding.

  1. Seems to me Rick had something like that done--not pleasant.
    Sorry.

  2. When medical/dental people suggest things that would require selling a kidney or a child, I brush it off and figure it will sort itself out when I die, or be the cause of my death, and in that case I would figure it was meant to be, so why try and fight God? Right?

  3. Yeah, my gums may be receding but I still have a full head of hair.

  4. Karen had that done. I freakin' hate all things dental. It hurts, it's awkward, and then you have to pay for it. Bleah.

  5. Haha, Annie! You and I think alike. Why do we have to pay to be tortured and humiliated?
