Lifes Like That

After a trip to the dentist today, I am thanking my lucky stars that we have dental insurance.  My youngest son has been complaining about having a tooth ache so I took him to the dentist today.  What the dentist found was not good news and now my little fellow will require dental surgery.  Thankfully we have dental coverage to cover this costs.  When our dentist office broke down the costs of what it would cost it came to well over $1000.  I just about had a heart attack when I seen that estimate.  But, with insurance paying for most of it, all we have to come up with is a little over $200.  That’s a whole lot better in my eyes.

This experience today showed me that if we didn’t have dental coverage, our children wouldn’t get the dental care that they require as we wouldn’t be able to afford it.  It also makes me wonder how some people who don’t have insurance are able to swing it.
