I just got back from taking Ike to the dentist.

He needs $5400.00 worth of work done (this includes: 11 cavities, a crown on a molar and 3-3.5 hours of sedation)

WTF?!?!?!?!

OY!

I'm just...wha?

Holy CRAP!

I had new gums put in a few years ago1, and I think it was less than that.

1In case you're wondering whether this is a fun procedure, the answer is: Not so much.

Yea, that was kinda my response. What's killing us is the sedation. Because of some problems (read: kids dying in the denist chair) Ike's dentist brings in an anesthesiologist from Children's Hospital in Oakland. The insurance doesn't cover it. And that's about a third of the price tag. One third is the crown, the other third is everything else.
