My kids have always had dental insurance. They’ve always had check ups twice a year, maybe once this last year because adulting is hard.
21 year old needs at least two root canals. It’s all good. I have great dental insurance – great compared to most Americans.
Goes for cavity fill. No pain. Needs two crowns because the teeth are infected so badly. Dentist bends over backwards to fit child in for root canals because they leave for Israel in three days
Remaining benefits for the year $293.
Makes appointment with dentist in DC because temp crowns need replaced asap, not in August when they return from their internship.
Paid $1900 yesterday out of pocket for two crowns. Honestly feel good that I was able to pay most of that and take good care of my kiddo’s teeth.
On the way home from the dentist my kiddo called to tell me they had to put temporarily crowns on because it looks like there’s still infection after the root canals.
Referred to specialist. I’m sure that will be affordable.
This is exactly how I ended up with dentures at 42 years old. It’s cool though. I’m sure I’ll get that $30,00 to $60,000 together soon. Right after I pay those pesky student loans off. So I’m like $110,000 to $150,000 away!
Two years ago I made $37,000 a year with a Masters. Now I make $70,000 so I’m sure I’ll get that saved in no time at all. After paying that college tuition now that making more reduced their Pell Grants by about $12,000 a year. Single mom with no financial support. Their father killed himself ten years ago unfortunately before he was able to catch up on the $25,000 in child support arrears. Oh and canceling out that 50% of military pension I was awarded due to being a stay at home mom for 17 years (13 plus 4 for college.) Luckily for his family he did manage to get an updated will disinvesting his children.
On an unrelated note…I’ve heard you can make good money on Onlyfans if you have a niche. Are there a lot of options out there for people who are into “Older than a MILF, younger than a GILF lesbian with dentures category?”
