This is a little scary but I hadn't once stepped into a dentist's office for a little over 19 years. Well, I suppose I did when I was a child, but since we don't really have health insurance, and I was always a bit lazy, I never did get around to going to a dentist and having my teeth checked out.
Then, about a year ago, I decided that the next time I go to India, I'll get all of my dental work done for a fraction of the cost. So in May I decided to take that trip, meet relatives, do some shopping, and most importantly get the dental care my teeth deserved but I couldn't afford while in the states.
I think now that the bulk of the work is done, I can start going to the dentist on a regular basis here -- and maybe see how much braces may cost me.
