I need to see a dentist, someday. Trouble is, what with Dad being USAF and me Army, I've never been to any but a military socialized medicine dentist, and the last time was five years ago.. I don't know how to do it, or how much to expect to pay for the sort of things I'm likely to need.

Ain't none of y'all dentists, or very familiar with 'em, or work in a dentist's office, or like that?

You could call around to a few local dentists, ask what their procedures are, ask what their prices are. They'll tell you.

I'm drawing a blank on your current employment situation, so I don't know if you have insurance or not. Some policies will pay at least for regular checkups.

But call the dentist's office. They can't hurt you over the phone. ;-)

Personally, I hated the dentist for years. Threw such a fit when I was 8 that my mom didn't take me back until I was 13. I don't know why she let me get away with it.

Well except for the fact that the Steve Martin character in "Little Shop of Horrors" was modeled after our family dentist.
