So... I'm out $1300 after another trip to the dentist yesterday. The dental plan here really sucks. They consider crowns to be "cosmetic" and the maximum is only at $1ooo. I've been there so many times now, my fifth time will be in two weeks when I get a permanent crown. Anyhoo, must forget how much I paid and get on with life. =) (And to think I won't have a real job for another 7 years...)
