$2878.00 for root canal and crown to save lower back molar

$375 to have it yanked

I could fly to Thailand - get this done - stay at a hotel for a week drinking Mai Tai's on a beach - fly back for same price

tooth broke so I can't wait otherwise I would get a new passport

    Had to have 7 teeth removed about a month ago. Insurance didn't cover any of it for some reason. It was labelled as "non-essential" even though my wisdom teeth were destroying my other teeth, causing one to break off, and an impacted tooth causing an abscess that I've had for years that was causing a spike in my white blood cell count.

    Cost $2000. I had to empty my savings to pay for it. They're still sending me some bill too that they say I owe, even though they told me that $2k covered everything.

    It will go into the bin like all the other medical collections I have, probably totaling up to over $10k at this point
