Burned out on dental work [View all]

The one useful thing the dr said was I don't need an implant for the removed molar. I'm completely burned out and emptying out my bank account to this dentist that injured me. I see them next week and I'm assuming ill b charged again. The removal was $1750.

My dental insurance is awful. I'm paying $50/month for glasses and dental insurance and I'm canceling the glasses insurance. I might as well just pocket the money and self pay. I feel like I'm bleeding money.

I want to go back to my old dentist. I'm supposed to get $2000 a yr in dental benefits yet i end up paying 10 dollars after a cleaning. I'm totally confused by their explanations. I'm calling the insurance Monday to cancel the glasses insurance. I think I'll be canceling the dental in april. I just feel everything in America is a fucking ripoff of average ppl like me. I'm so tired.
