Mason's visit to the dentist revealed that he needs to have 2 pulpectomies (baby root canals) as well as four cavities filled. The estimated cost: $4700. That is after $180 for today's visit. He will be knocked out completely for this procedure and the speciality hospital charge alone is $2500.
I am speechless. I have a knot in my stomach. Mason has an abscess in his mouth related to his rotting tooth and that is why he has been complaining his mouth hurts. Joe was alarmed, outraged when I told him the upsetting news. He is ready to fly Mason to Thailand to get the work done there as it is much more affordable. Joe has been planning a visit to Thailand for himself to get some dental work done so now this may speed up that trip!
Needless to say I can't focus on much today. I am beyond upset. These kids just had tonsillectomies which we are just starting to pay for and now this. It is just so unaffordable as to be .....I can't even think of what I want to say. Kids are expensive I say!
