Excellent story, Stephen and it really hit home. Our dentist is one of the best in our area. He has all the bells and whistles, including IV sedation, which I've had at least twice as I am a dentalphobe. That said, we've been putting off going because we have a running tab with this practice. Thankfully, they've been great about it, but the whole situation, that, as you said, we can't afford to keep up our overall health by having a healthy mouth, is disgusting.
