    DH just got back from the DDS and is angry, feels the man is a cheat. Quoted $2300 for crown lenghthening/new crown on rearmost molar. Required $1000 today then balance when crown done. After 10 minutes work cutting away gum he said new crown wouldn't last, needs a $4800 titanium "tooth". He'd apply today's $1000 toward it bringing new cost down to $3800. When I spoke with front desk, she said we still have the option to continue with the original crown, with the understanding that it "may" not last. Joe never wants to see that man again, but because of the $$ we're into it is willing to go for the original crown. What do you think?

    Lanette Sorry your community is losing those stores. Will there still be a Sears catalog store? Internet shopping is a blessing and a curse, can get things shipped to us we can't get here, but at cost of local jobs and economic impact.

    Oops 5 pages to go but time's up.
    Mindful and WARM Hugs to all,

    I think you should get a second opion

    I agree. Crowns are expensive and so are the implants. Another quote is worth the time and effort because it is your teeth.

    Barbara - I agree with Terry and Margaret.

    A couple years ago, my regular dentist retired (I had gone to him for 20 years) he was conservative meaning cautious and had a "wait and see" attitude unless something was an emergency. I had good insurance but he didn't recommend a crown unless it was absolutely necessary.

    He sold his practice to a fellow who was aggressive meaning the first year he talked me into THREE new crowns and only 2 were covered by insurance. His hygienist was a sadist and pain inflictor when giving shots :s so I quit going there despite the fact that per their X-rays I still needed TWO new crowns! Good gravy.

    So I went to a new dentist my friend goes to. He and his partner are conservative as far as crowns go. They also took X-rays and saw nothing to indicate I needed 2 more crowns!! GGRR. Their hygienist is a gem. The partners are Korean and young - mid 30's. Not that that makes any difference. They gave out good vibes.

    When something doesn't sit right like that expensive titanium tooth, it's good to listen to your gut.

    Good luck!!! I feel for your DH!!

    Went to cinema today and watched "All the money in the world". Excellent movie but what a sad story, they were so rich that it spoilt all of their lives.

    Today I made turkey soup. I had one lone turkey slice, from a meal I made my husband. I bought 1 bokchoy thingy, and 1 zucchini today. We went to our local market, and I had bought a huge cube steak for $2.99. So I sautéed the cut up bokchoy, half of the zucchini cubed, the turkey shredded, some cubed celery, in a drizzle of olive oil, tumeric, Cayenne pepper, and course pepper. I made some chicken broth with Better Than Bouillon chicken paste, and added some fancy pasta, and two spoonfuls of diced tomatoes. When the pasta was done, I added the sautéed stuff. It made a soup with quite a kick! I added mozzarella cheese on top. It was heaven. I have two more containers of it!
