I had the day off at The Pretzel Factory today in order to bring Andy to a dentist appointment to have their wisdom teeth extracted. That is not going to happen until January but Andy is also getting Invisalign and when they had their root canal last week the doctor said that the teeth should be extracted before Andy starts Invisalign. All in all to get Andy's teeth done completely we're looking at about $10K in expenses. It could be less from insurance but not too likely much less. Pushing the procedure to January does allow us to use the full extent of the dental insurance with the Wisdom Teeth extraction. Invisalign only knocks $2000 off with insurance and that works out to be close to $6K.
We were told that the teeth should be extracted before Invisalign but I called the Invisalign place to reschedule Andy's appointment and they said that the covers would not touch the wisdom teeth so that we can still go ahead with that before the other procedure. That will make Andy happy since they have been itching to start the Invisalign and correct their teeth.
The office was in Seekonk so Andy and I stopped at Newport Creamery on the way home for dinner and I got an Awful Awful for me and one for Allison. Just felt like the appropriate drink for today.
