I'm going to have the most expensive mouth in the history of ever by the time I die

I had an appointment today with periodontist to see about getting a gum graft done. The gum is pretty much completely receded on one of my front teeth and he found two more on the side that are getting bad and will probably need grafts in the next couple years. It's like a $5000 procedure. DAMN. I mean, insurance should cover some of it, but the way the office works, we pay them upfront and then wait for insurance to reimburse us, not them. Between that, the multiple times I've had braces and the jaw surgery from a couple years ago, my mouth will have sucked up more money that anything else. Urgh.

So, gotta talk with the hubby when he gets home and figure out what he wants to do. We need to get in touch with the insurance company for sure and see what they have to say. If that doesn't work, the office can submit a predetermination request and go that route, but that can take 6 weeks. So, yeah. Fun times. :-P
