PSA:  Don't neglect your teeth!

After five years of putting off minor dental work, I've managed to stumble and fall into an abyss of dental problems.

I went to the dentist today because of a toothache, expecting an extraction (like every other time I've gone to the dentist)  She informed me after taking numerous x-rays that most of my teeth can be saved, with the exception of two, including the tooth giving me the problem -- That one, I need a crown.  But that's going to cost me over $950!  For the two root canals, four crowns and two or three extractions, and the other miscellanious cavity fillings, it'll cost me nearly $17,000, all but $1,000 out of pocket -- my dental insurance maximum for the year!

I'm looking into getting Aflac, hopefully I can afford those additional monthly payments!  Don't neglect your teeth!
