Well I had the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth pulled.
I can honestly say I was numb (at least on the left side of my face) when the dentist asked if I wanted a fake tooth put in.
"How much?", I asked
"Three THOUSAND", was the reply.
I knew I was drooling but I didn't think it affected my hearing.
I asked what the price was with my insurance.
Same reply but I was told I could do a bridge.
"How much", I asked.
"Fifteen hundred." Was the reply.
"With or with out insurance?"
"With!"
I thought I was going to choke.
It's going be awhile before I have anything done. I'm just going to have to used to not having that tooth on the left side for awhile.
I thought I' d be in a lot more pain then I was. I was just very, very, very tired afterwards and slept a good deal of yesterday away too.
I think it may have been a bit of sticker shock.
