If not that long ago, take it back and make them fix it. Would they wear ill fitting teeth/flipper. Would they let theirfamily go around with ill fitting prosthetic?

I cannot understand why Medicare will care for our medical needs, but not dental. WHY? Our teeth are bound to go bad just as our bodies are. I am in that fix right now, with a $5,000 dental bill facing me in the next month or so. I have a heart fix that was much more costly than that, and had no problem at all with getting that fixed. I guess "whoever" must have figured that it would all balance out in the long run, but I am facing this "long run" with a long face--it will really cut into my spending money when we go on a road trip.

I'm with you. Last month I lost a big filling and part of a molar. The dentist said I needed a rootcanal and a crown. Or it should be pulled. I chose to have it pulled. When I went back she asked my why. I told her the truth that I just couldn't afford the dental work. She filled the the tooth with a special filling and it cost $156.00 compared to $2000.00 for the canal and crown. I'm smiling now.
