My denstist is trying educate me now about why he thinks I need to spend
$2k for a crown on my right-side lower molar even though most of my
actual pain is happening in a right side upper molar. He can't see
anything wrong with the upper but notices a small crack in the lower.
Now that I've received his letter of assessment and his projected
invoice I know a lot more about molars and dentistry than I did
previously. But I still hate getting my teeth drilled.


2K for a single crown--no root canal?  Didn't know Toronto was such a
high-rent town.


Actually, closer to $1500, but then there'll be tax.
I forgot that his initial estimate included re-doing a filling that some
other dentist had botched.




	I don't know what the exchange rate is.  That might be about right.
