I just got back a while ago from going to the dentist and the pharmacy. I had perio done on the left upper and lower. And they pulled 3 teeth. Two upper molars and one lower molar that had been crowned but went bad anyway. Fortunately, as the novacaine was starting to wear off, I finally had my Lortab filled. I took half of one in the car. About ten minutes ago, it started kicking in and I just took the other half. These were tough pulls and one of them required sectioning. Plus, I have sutures on the upper to give the gums the chance to heal back right.
I'll have a number of other teeth pulled and what's left will get crowned. I'm not sure what he is going to do about my front upper that went away, whether I get an implant or a bridge. From what I hear, I would rather have an implant.
So, my bill shows two perios and 3 extractions. Insurance paid for half, so I paid $400. OTOH, my insurance card finally worked at the pharmacy and my scrip only cost $2.50.
Lortab and I are friends.
