getting my teeth pulled...

[Joanne]

so I'm getting 2 bottom wisdom teeth pulled, along with 2 cavities on tuesday.

total of $768.

then after that, I'll be getting my upper 2 wisdom teeth pulled out.

total of $560

grand total of $1328.... *sigh* there goes trying to pay for tuition next semester.

looks like I'm going to be a broke bum for a while. fucking hell.

you're asian parents pay for that shit.

dosnt school offer dental insurence?

[stringbeans]

damn.. that sucks jo... is that with or without insurance?

[charly]

that sucks :(

can't you have them pull all your wisdom teeth at once, or is that a bad idea with the cavities being done as well? i got all four of my wisdom teeth out at once, even though only the bottom two needed to be removed at that time. i'm sure combining the two [if you can] could make it a bit cheaper on you?

Get the UBC dental students to do it for you.

Seriously, call them up and find out.

You'll get a really good discount.

im gettin all 4 of mine pulled after twisted on easter monday...my moms kinda choked at the bill ..i donno why it costs so damn much..insurance these days doesnt cover nottin no more fuck the government :finger:

[charly]

^ you need better insurance than.

i got all 4 of my teeth removed. it totalled about $2000 in the end, and i only paid $200 for the drugs. that was it.

NOT WHEN YOU HAVE A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A JOBLESS, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING ASIAN FATHER (but that's a whooole different thread)

and no, my school doesn't offer any dental coverage or anything like that.

I could have all 4 wisdom teeth taken out at the same time but the fact is I just don't have the extra $500+ :(
but no, I doubt he'd make it cheaper because he's already giving me a 10% student discount on it.

I've heard about that! the only thing I worry about is that my dentist told me that my teeth are really close to the nerve and the bone(?). I'm just super-worried about anything bad happening and I think my fears would increase if I were in the hands of a student..

but hey, what's the number? maybe they can do my filling! :p

[crookedking]

if the students mess up they will fail.

it gives them more incentive to do a better job.

oh, that's too bad.
i did all 4 of mine at once since it would be cheaper to have just the one day, instead of two. mine was just under $2000 for all 4, but if i had them done separately it would cost almost $1000 more :\

at least you're getting the student discount, that does help.

umm as far as i know the government in this province has never provided dental as part of normal public health insurence

imj lucky i have and have always had 100% dental and health coverage because my parents have dope benefits where they work.
ive probably had about 10k worht of othrodontic shit alone

hehe one of my teachers at bcit once told me about this time he got a filling done and one of the drills touched one of the nerves or something... it hurt so much that he said his vision turned completely white for a second.. kinda scary

they hit a nerve with me too while removing one of my bottom wisdom teeth. he warned me beforehand, and it happened. i totally flinched and the iv ripped out of my arm. :\

i'm with u on that one...my momma said she'd pay for mine but i'd rather pay for it on my own..i was suppose to get my teeth out last summer..i wonder if one year makes a difference?

[Joanne]

^^it might if your wisdom teeth are growing perpendicular towards your other teeth... like with mine. :P

anyways, I just got one pulled out today.
fuck... so much blood everywhere (I was awake for the whole thing)! the dental hygienist had to clean my face and said "we don't want you going outside like you've just been through a blood bathe!".
hahaha



but now I'm in pain..

OOOWWWW.... :(
