Dentistry is not cheap, but being a cash customer has helped me negotiate some good cost savings.

I wish you luck in your search for better dental care.
Thank you!

I agree, dental health is certainly something that should be prioritized.

I'm fortunate in that I have no tooth pain, but my gums are not in good shape. Right NOW, that is.

I'm researching, and I'll post what I find. In the meantime, I imagine that I will have to make a number of dental visits for root planing...but I am not going to go the route of surgery.
