I think my dentist is very skillful. When we started the lengthy session, she said that all would depend on whether or not she could do a root canal on my half-tooth. Well, she accomplished that, then inserted a post, and saved my tooth, all for $167. Her assistant couldn't do it, but Dr Li could and did. I am impressed and grateful. It was on a Friday afternoon in which I was the only patient in the office by the end of the session. Note: the $167 was my cost, with more than $1000 being covered by the government insurance for which I pay no premiums.
====================
JJ retired from hockey three years ago, but the longtime faithful will recall my frequent photo posts from his games, not just of him but of the team. I squeezed the trigger whenever I saw interesting action.

Good news about that tooth, plush the low cost. Here it would run into the thousands for the same procedure. And great photos, too. Thanks so much, friend,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear the tooth was saved. Though I would say you do in fact pay premiums with your higher income tax rates than here where our government doesn't cover dental care.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I do save the cost of private insurance, and no one goes bankrupt over medical bills.
DeleteCongrats on saving the tooth! May you enjoy chomping away feeling totally chuffed (I had to look it up to make sure it was positive).
ReplyDeleteGreat action shot! How super nice that you spread the joy with your photos. Lovely that you got those sweet comments. Good to know they saved your tooth. I am not looking forward to my next visit. Sue took great photos and I like your red hat and coat standing out with the lights and the other with the trees and snowy background.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have a skilful dentist, so much better than the other options they mentioned.
ReplyDeleteSnow pic is still the best! And I'm just thrilled that you were able to save that tooth! That's a good Christmas miracle! It's just wonderful how you share your photos. That note is really touching.
ReplyDeleteWe should all have red winter coats!
ReplyDeleteYes, great news and cost. Medicare doesn't cover dental except checkups. We pay Medicare premiums and supplemental private insurance premiums. I like your snow photos.
ReplyDeleteThe photo with the snow shovel is great! What a relief to have your tooth fixed, with a reasonable cost. It had to be so nice to hear your photos are still hanging on the wall from hockey days, they really appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteI like that red coat and the colorful shoveling photo. I'm glad the tooth was saved and that the price wasn't exorbitant. In spite of my medical and dental insurance, I still pay substantially more than that for many procedures out of pocket. :(
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you shovelling snow - keeps you fit, I suppose. 😁I like the lights - very jolly.
ReplyDeleteThat saved tooth, for that price? It feels like justice.
ReplyDeleteI am happy about the tooth. I love ❤️ your red coat.
ReplyDeleteA satisfying pair of reflections. One on expert care and gratitude well earned, the other on memory, pride, and the quiet artistry found in both sport and an everyday winter moment
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear you got your tooth fixed. Great photos too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're shoveling lights! Dandy toofer fix-up. Guess you don't get anything from the tooth fairy though. I like your hockey pics cuz I like watching hockey in person. The K.C. Mavericks minor league team is on the other size of our metro. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting the tooth saved. Love the picture of you shoveling the snow. I love the lights on the snow.
ReplyDeleteA smorgasbord of good news from your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteI too like red outerwear. But perhaps even a bit more, I like darker orange/rust outerwear.
ReplyDeleteI am very happy for you concerning your tooth!

that red coat is perfect for these wintry scenes.
ReplyDeleteI wish insurance for all was possible here. Alas. Our dear leader says it is not possible.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to know one’s photos mean so much to people. Well done, AC.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a relief. It's also wonderful that your old hockey photos are still meaningful to the players and their families. A great update all around.
ReplyDeleteCrickey. I may have to get the name of your dentist. Mine is not to my liking. They should be pleased with the photos; you do a masterful job, always. Love the puck in the air.
ReplyDeleteIt would cost you a lot more than that down here! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI do remember the hockey photos. Fun times I bet.
And there's AC, shoveling the light!!
You looks so happy in the lights, shoveling!
