Teeth and Signs, Signs

Well, got an appointment to have my wisdom teeth out. All the other follow up appointments for root canals, crowns, and cleaning total up near $5000.00

Yeah. Five THOUSAND dollars. Oy.

Went to Taco Bell because we weren't done with everything until nearly 7:15 or so. One sign advertised Taco Bell during Lent. All items can be ordered without meat. Interesting. At the next window, there was a sign that policy prevents Taco Bell from serving drive-thru customers who walk up to the drive-thru window. Apparently, this happens often enough that a sign and policy had to be drawn up. I can, however, remember doing something like that long ago at a Burger King in Miami. Only once.

Oh yeah, and did it in Gatlinburg, but it was a walk up window--no cars allowed.

Well, the bulk of the cost is a result of needing root canals and crowns for the two teeth on the bottom that were impacted by my lower wisdom teeth. Those bottom wisdom teeth of mine grew in sideways and have caused quite a bit of damage.

Our cost just to extract my wisdom teeth is about four hundred dollars or so--don't know the full cost, if we didn't have insurance.

One thing that I AM really concerned about is being put under. I've never been on anesthesia--other than some local stuff.
