Dentist

Went to the dentist today for a couple of fillings. While I was there they gave me a estimate for a bridge for 4 teeth at a cost of $4,400 out of my pocket. I'm maxed out on my dental insurance which would have paid a grand, whoopie do. I could buy a extra policy for $165 a month, but I'm tired of paying on all of these insurance policies. Dental insurance has paid only a grand for like 40 years, this needs to change especially for the retirees such as myself. I don't know how people can afford to see a dentist
