I finally have the dentist appointment tomorrow, as the wisdom tooth at the lower left is still being a ‘pain’.
Literally.
Now- I have health insurance, as well as ‘extras’, as Australia calls it; but ‘the Galea’ keeps telling me that it’s still ‘not covered’ and that the last time he went to the dentist it cost him 3 grands for pulling out 4 of his wisdom teeth.
Err… under general anaesthesia…. umm… in a hospital.
And, 3 GRANDS!
That’s AU$750 for EACH tooth out of pocket even after paying a $99 EVERY MONTH for ‘EXTRAS’?!

I don’t know- I am tempted to just keep the pain if that’s the case; but knowing Galea, he may actually be shooting in the dark. He’s sometimes a dork like that. Well… he might have learnt from somewhere about my irrational fear of hospital smells :S
Anyways, though I’m tempted to do exactly the opposite, I will go to the dentist tomorrow and wait for him to give me the verdict. I promise to not scream out in frustration if that irritating colleague of mine is proven right.
But till then, I’m living right here in my bubble, where the wisdom tooth removal is ‘covered’ by the insurance- or at least by ‘extras’… and at least partially…… and the wisdom tooth may or may not need to be removed even though one had to be in the past… and oh… also that ‘the Galea’ is a dork.
Call me silly, but I LIKE this bubble…. thankyouverymuch!
