Yeah, I know… I’m the one that really needs to get in to the dentist, but this post is actually about the kids. I’m not currently in pain, so we’re still figuring out what we can afford. We did look into and purchased one of the dental plans that Amy mentioned, but it’s taken over a week to finally get a price list of what the plan actually covers and what we’ll need to pay for each service. It’s only an ok deal. It does discount the services at roughly 20-25% off EXCEPT for my crown, which is only like a 13% discount…. But, I guess any savings at this point is a good thing. We’ve been running numbers to make sure we can make up the difference of the cost of the plan before running with this, because there is a 30 day money back guarantee.
But this post was supposed to be about the kids. Whoops!
As no surprise, we discovered that we have met our (very high!) deductible for our health insurance, so our kids are covered. I’m not sure why or how they are covered, since we don’t have dental, but I’m really not complaining. So, I took them back in for cleanings yesterday. They had a blast. No, seriously. You would think I took them to the dental-wonderland-play-place by the way they were so excited to be there and get to pick a toy at the end. I’m very relieved that they haven’t picked up on any of my dental phobia. At the end of the appointment we scheduled another appointment for Chloe to get her back 4 molars sealed. Actually only 3 sealed because one already had a cavity, so we also had to get one filling. But, again, it’s all covered, so no worries! She went back in for her appointment today and had gas for the first time. She was very nervous about what to expect, but it went awesome and she still came away smiling.
So, for now the kids are set for another few months. Whew!
I’m so glad that kids had a good experience! So far, our kids like the dentist too 🙂
So glad the dental experiences are good for all the grandkids!
good to hear…gives me hope for my own.
