I’m way behind on my dental work I have things that needed to be done since 2020 on my record. When I go to the dentist, I spend the first half of the year paying my deductible, then I’m maxed out, and then I got to pay because I’m maxed out. This year I was maxed out in March.

I’m due for a 6-month cleaning, my dentist called, reminded me my insurance was maxed out, and said it would be $220 for the cleaning. $220 for a cleaning. Seems high. I called a dentist near where I work and they said between $225 and $275 for cleaning.

then a co-worker recommended his dentist, so I called them and it was $125 for a cleaning. Plus they already had my name on file. In 2007, when I was with the government healthcare system, I went to this dentist because I needed an implant, the government system didn’t cover implants. So this dentist was a dentist who was only on the island part time and I had an implant done. This dentist is now on this Island full time and I recall he’s a very good dentist. Hope I can get some better prices and some affordable dental care. My dental insurance really is practically worthless.

Tomorrow for work I have first aid training all day.
