Sticker Shock

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?

Yea, on baby teeth. They have to last him another 10 years or so, especially that molar that needs a crown. We've just gotten lucky that Ike has his Grandfathers' (both sides!) rotten teeth!

See response to Ross for breakdown of costs.

Wow. Poor Ike, and poor Ike's grandfathers too I bet. What a joy, a crown while still a toddler. Too bad there's no way to make the process easier on him, huh?

Other than the 3 hours of sedation...nope!
