I'd like to thank my dentist!

[Horse with no Name]

Seriously. Having some extensive, expensive dental work done. Even with dental insurance, they are giving me a cash discount because of the expense.

Had some difficulty getting there a couple of months ago--his office gave me gift cards for dinner.

They were running late last time I was there--they gave me gift cards to the movies.

BUT...the most spectacular thing is...my granddaughter's dental insurance has very limited providers. Crappy policy. Took her to the dentist and they wanted to do some extraordinary things...like putting crowns on teeth that are getting ready to fall out...that kind of thing. I was like thanks, but really, no thanks.

My dentist isn't on her insurance as a provider. Was talking to him about it. He told me to just bring her the next time I come and he will just do the work for her--no charge--but he agreed that at her age, a crown on a baby tooth was just a little stupid.

I feel so fortunate about this. And grateful. Very grateful.
