Went in to the dentist out of fear of a cavity that needed attention...

I was worried that it would end up in a root canal and crown. It does not matter if you have insurance or not, root canals and crowns cost at least $2000, if you're lucky.

Thank goodness, it was a chipped tooth that had caused my sudden acute sensitivity to cold, that was easily repaired.  Got a deep cleaning as well.  Total cost to the wallet: $280.

And I have to go back in to get a full x-ray to verify if there are any invisible cavities, and to repair a cracked filling.  That'll cost me another $330.

But that's a lot less than $2000+ for a root canal.
