    Going to miss my dentist

    And my doctor. Moving permanently to Florida a week from today, I'm really going to miss the healthcare here, my dentist and doctor are both classic country practitioners. I lost a bridge last night, called my dentist at 8:00 am this morning , saw me at 9:30, cleaned everything up and reattached my bridge. $40, unbelievable. Last bridge he made me, 4 teeth, counting the two anchor teeth, $750. He doesn't accept insurance, says it's a scam, he's cheaper than other dentists with insurance. Lives in a normal country house similar to mine, not some gated cul de sac. Going to be hard to replace. From his office.

    Chris,
    I woke up early today (7:30 AM Pacific coast) to find this timely post.
    On the way to see the Dentist myself.
    Mine is in the city, he don't use 4-wheelers, and I hope he has ALL the "good painless stuff"!

    BTW -
    Anyone that misses his dentist is a sick masochist!

      I'm going to.miss the price, mostly, but dentists are one of the few places you enter in pain and leave in no pain, I don't get fear of dentists. I fell asleep during a root canal once, he said I started to snore, lol.

    I am trying to hold off on my dental work until I have to go back to Panama to pick up my permanent residency visa. The work costs 65-75% less than here and most are American trained as are most Doctors. When I got cellulitis last time the Doctor visit was $15!!! $20 after 4pm...with no insurance. We are being fucked royally here for medical care.

      Nothing permanent Steve. For now will be going to the cool mountains for a month or two when Florida gets really hot n sticky. I got it to keep my options open should the asshat in the Whitehouse and company pull full socialism/communism off. I don't really want to go unless I absolutely have to. Better to have a plan and not need it than need a plan and not have it.

      I think you are close to where I am moving. I am 35 minutes NW of Tallahasee in the Lake Talquin area. Are you in Georgia or is that still in Florida?

    Wow, I think you're probably the closest, under 2 hours, maybe. I'm leaving in a week, and I'll be tied up for a couple weeks when I get there, but I'm game.

          First post in here folks......Have little idea who’s in here. My first cast maybe shouldn’t be a political one. But there it is. Pretty sure there’s not a whole lotta 🔵 alphabet peeps in here. N if I’m wrong....I’m sure y’all let me know😏.

            You do seem a little strange, so you should fit right in here. ;-)

          Lol, welcome to the forum. He and his wife don't have health insurance either, they deposit the equivalent cost in a medical savings account every month, and luckily they're healthy, so he's probably got a nice pile

              In my long association with pain, there is not much worse than naggin' ass tooth pain!
              My condolences, Amigo!

              I try to have some Percocet on hand for times like yours but they are very hard to get.
          Working...
