I hate my teeth and so does my wallet
So I need a root canal, crown, and a few fillings. At least I don't need more than one crown.
Well, looks like we won't be going on vacation this year. Dang, I hate my teeth.

If any of the work can wait until next year, you can use your FSA for it. I have had thousands of dollars worth of dental work done and I wored the FSA pretty well to my advantage. Saving the tax helps a lot!
Good luck!
So Tasty, So Yummy
This is how I do it too. I have 3 teeth I needed root canals on... They patch them up so they aren't painful and all that and I had two done last year and had planned on one this year, but I lowered my FSA amount and with all the testing for DH and DD1 it's gone... So we're waiting til January. lol (provided it doesn't get worse)
All in all, to fix the fillings (I have several silver that I want replaced with white) replace one crown that was 15+ years old, plus 3 root canals... almost 10k! It's crazy!
I've never been prone to cavities until I had kids. After M, I had 11. After K, like 9. I'm pretty sure I had like 12 after Sam.
IT SUCKS. lol
I thought he was good and knowledgeable, but I wasn't impressed with his office staff.He also wanted me to get a sleep study done. All of the things he mentioned were a bit overwhelming. And when I told him that this was going to be very expensive and that I needed to think about that, he looked uncomfortable.
Overall, I think I will get great care from him, but I am not sure how I will feel about going to him long term. Maybe I was just in a bad mood and in pain. We'll see how I feel on my subsequent visits.

Great suggestions, ladies. My insurance and FSA plan year actually expire on June 30, so I am having some of the work done on the 30th and the rest done in July. This way I won't exceed my dental insurance coverage for the year, and I can use my FSA card for the second part of the work.
I exceeded the FSA benefits for this year at the beginning of January (July - June plan year). I am sure I didn't put enough in there this year either. I am just worried about not using it all.
