Ok I got lucky this week, painfully lucky................
See I need Dentures full top, partial bottoms, and a few other mouth related things like bone grafts too, yuck! Because the teeth I have left are bad, really bad and slowly falling apart. Well went to a Dental office they priced me for the full work at a little under 11k.
Well.... as I was sitting outside my 2nd of my 2 weekly plasma donations last Friday an older donating couple who I talk with all the time told me about trying the same dental school they had got their teeth fixed at. Funny thing its in in the same hospital health system I'm in, I just never knew about the school itself. So I called Monday and got an appointment to come in for an examination yesterday morning.
So yesterday morning I went there, paid $13 dollars for the exam and x-ray to see if I qualified as a volunteer test subject that students under the watch of a senior teacher could use to get grades. So I left thinking if they did call it would not be for a few weeks if ever.
Well I get home this morning from donating my 1st plasma donation of the week and the phone rings not even 30 mins after being home.
Long story finally closing I have an appointment on Friday afternoon to get as many teeth pulled as needed and I can afford for $82 or less dollars per tooth! The price will be no higher then $82 and could be a lot less depending on how much of each tooth remains. The bigger news is this puts me into the school itself as a volunteer to get my whole mouth done and dentures created though it will take longer then going to an outside dentist.
The MAJOR benefit you ask,. I'll save 60% going through the school then outside, a savings of a little over 6.5k out of the proposed 11k.
So depending on how much pain I'm in on Sunday will determine if I post. Thought I'd let you know now that though I may not have teeth I still have my DM bite so be careful out there.
