>>>removing those nine teeth would cost $1500 dollars. Now, that’s inflation! <<<
Wait till he prices the dentures...
Round here lots of people are packing up and going to North Carolina for a few days where there is a dental practice with a whole bunch of dentists that do economy dental work including their own lab for dentures. They must be doing a land-office business... I think I have heard 15 or more who have been there from way up here.
Look for all medical services to go bonkers - State here decided to cut medicaid payments on prescriptions and pharmacies are now starting to refuse all medicaid business - State told them they would or be faced with a 3% State tax increase - but now hear nothing more on their standoff but they still don’t accept it. Now, Doctors who were also cut way back are turning away all medicaid patients.
I am only aware of it because of adopting Christi, who with her special needs, the State promised the aid if we did adopt her.
I’m just stunned by the whole system. Hubby’s urologist took his office out of Maine and practices only in NH now. Previously he had affiiations with offices in three towns in Maine. Now, if hubby needs to be hospitalized for his cancer, he needs to change either his Dr or his hospital.
We are hearing reports of $3,000 and up for dentures. Hubby says that at 81, he doesn’t see how he can justify putting $5,000 in his mouth, but I say he can’t afford not to as chewing problems are affecting his health.
If it was drastically less expensive elsewhere, it would make sense to take a vacation and visit the less expensive area.
