Tooth

So I have had a tooth that has been bothering me for some time.  I have been ignoring it for years.  Last week it acted up again and was very painful.  There is a dentist here in town that use to work at PACE but has now opened his own practice in town.  So I know him well.  So I went to see him last week.  I had told him what the dentist has said at home about having it pulled.  He took an ex-ray and agreed that it would be best if it came out.  Since I was traveling over the weekend and the beginning of this week we decided to wait.  So today was the day.  It all went well and as long as I take the pain meds I am pretty good.  I was thinking of posting a picture of the tooth but thought that maybe some would not like it.  :  )

One of the best things is the cost.  At home I would have spent anywhere from $200 - $500 for this to be done.  Here for the ex-ray it cost me $6.  For the extraction it cost me $8.  That is right for under $20 it was all done.  It is amazing and feeling grateful.
