bill_schubertI'm killing a few minutes before lunch with my IT friend, the one who took over most of my customers. He asked to meet. Something about a new project. He's looking for someone to bounce ideas off of or someone to help. Either way should be interesting and he's paying for lunch. He wanted to go to a place right by us called Torchy's Tacos. The name says it all and I don't much like spicy. But there is another Mex restaurant also right next to us and I suggested that. It is five minutes from the house so really nice for me.
So I've got that and then at 1:30 I've got dental. Also pretty close. I'll stop by the house and brush first.
But new dentist and new hygenist. Yuch. I'm sure it will be fine as long as they don't find anything.
Dana's doc says she needs a molar pulled. We spent a BUNCH of money a year ago trying to save it and now they want a BUNCH more to remove it. They don't do insurance so it is pretty pricey. They are good but not much help financially.
Turns out that nearly all dental practices now days use rotating specialists to remove molars and such. So you could have the same doc at a different dentist and costing different amount. I did some research and found a highly rated doc that makes the rounds. Fully certified specialist in what she needs and he does it at a dentist right by us who is in our insurance plan. No idea yet how much that will cost but I'm guessing much less for about the same care. She's only going to meet whatever dentist does the work the one time, when she has it done, so no matter which place she has it. Fingers crossed it works out. Probably $1500 difference for the same work.
Dana has way more dental problems than I do.
Probably not something I should say before going to the dentist for the first time in a year.
