Yeah, I know… I’m the one that really needs to get in to the dentist, but this post is actually about the kids.\u00a0 I’m not currently in pain, so we’re still figuring out what we can afford.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 It’s only an ok deal.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
But this post was supposed to be about the kids.\u00a0 Whoops!<\/p>\n
As no surprise, we discovered that we have met our (very high!) deductible for our health insurance, so our kids are covered.\u00a0 I’m not sure why or how they are covered, since we don’t have dental, but I’m really not complaining.\u00a0 So, I took them back in for cleanings yesterday.\u00a0 They had a blast.\u00a0 No, seriously.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I’m very relieved that they haven’t picked up on any of my dental phobia.\u00a0 At the end of the appointment we scheduled another appointment for Chloe to get her back 4 molars sealed.\u00a0 Actually only 3 sealed because one already had a cavity, so we also had to get one filling.\u00a0 But, again, it’s all covered, so no worries!\u00a0 She went back in for her appointment today and had gas for the first time.\u00a0 She was very nervous about what to expect, but it went awesome and she still came away smiling.<\/p>\n
So, for now the kids are set for another few months.\u00a0 Whew!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
