CareCredit

Well I am finally going in to get dental work done. Asked for $10K because IV sedation isn’t cheap.71BE2EFE-74AE-4967-A713-1DA00E110F46.jpeg

 

HP EQ and TU, $18K income

Thanks!

 

I am totally not looking forward to it. Panic disorder plus oral surgeon does not equal a fun time. Going to get all 4 wisdoms and all four bottom molars pulled. 😔

Thank you sir!

 

Invisalign is $$$$$ from my understanding. 

 

Medicaid will cover my dentures I’ll have to get but they’ll only cover $1K of the rest of the work so I’m expecting to be on the hook for quite a bit. I’m not going to tell them I have CareCredit until we have discussed options though because I want them to think I’m not going to be able to finance a lot so we can work up instead of down on the cost scale.

Re: CareCredit

@Anonymous I have a solution that won't cost as much for dental work (nonsense) so I won't go there! In truth, I have the same major need. Glad you got approved as it should help you spread big expenses.

I am going to an oral surgeon instead of going to a dentist first so I won’t have to deal with the “let’s try to save everything and charge you a fortune” nonsense. It’s going to be one option - rip them out and lets go over denture options.

I just noticed they actually double pulled. EQ and TU. Updated the first post.

Re: CareCredit

@Anonymoushad not thought of it that way? Glad were discussing as you gave me a back room option! Yes, it certainly is easy to spend $10K plus while they rebuild. Hate to still being on the hook for dental work while they lower my new teeth into the ground Smiley Sad

I agree...there are many arguments for having them all pulled that I consider valid, and I would list a few, but it is almost noon and I need to go gum lunch.
