I spent several hours with the darling daughter. It's taken me six years to get her to see Dr. Chew and while waiting that six years has cost her her entire upper teeth, he can save the front lower teeth - the story of all this is horrible - she saw a dentist six years ago, one of these charlatan dentists who are in it only for the insurance money they can scam and he scared her so much, telling her it was going to cost eighty thousand dollars to do the work on her problematic teeth (she had no insurance), that she did nothing for the last six years. Three years ago I began badgering her about seeing Dr. Chew for a second opinion and had she done it she could have saved some of her upper teeth, but alas, I couldn't get her here. Last week, I put my foot down when I heard one of her teeth just fell out - I insisted she come, I made the appointment, and she had it today. While the news is obviously not good, once it's done she won't have any more pain, she'll be able to eat like a normal person, smile, and she'll be so much happier. Work starts end of this month and will happen over a three week period. Oh, and the cost is not eighty grand - more like seven.
