Just got back from the perio exam. Took full mouth xrays (should get a 1/2 off discount as there are only
50% of my teeth
left heh..
in my dreams ! 
)
Scheduled on 3/25 for laser surgery and graft on most problematic quadrant to try to save a few molars.

I'm not as sure about going farther than that with any add'l surgery.

He'll give me a better idea about what he can do after he's looked at the x-rays in detail .... by my next visit.

We'll see.

I'm not gonna go thru what I went thru last time,
but will take a gamble & see if this one quadrant can be helped.
BTW it'll be
$1425 after a discount
(20% on part of it
) savings of
$325 by joining the Careington dental plan for
$7 a month. Its not a dental insurance, but a discount plan.
The AARP dental ins. is
$52 a month and would pay for
50%, butwith a
$1500 cap- per year
(then 100%) and a deductible, that's basically a trade-off cause my problems will be waaay over the $1500 per year

My Medicare Part D,
Rx plan is only
$40 a month

and saves me over $250 a month
($3K/yr) in Rx's.
