Three + months later...
... and I finally have new teeth! I got a snazzy new bridge put in on Thursday and no longer scare people (too much) with my smile :)
What I have learned? Dental care is expensive! I waited until we'd worked a couple weeks before calling places to get estimates ... when I did start calling. I was VERY discouraged to find that a new bridge is over $3,000. Not good when you're working for minimum wage and don't have dental coverage. It did make me do a lot of thinking - about life and choices and consequencs of those choices. We all do it -- make choices (some good, some bad) and even though we know choices have consequences, sometime those consequences can still catch us by surprise.

Your smile looks lovely! I was just talking with my Bible student last week about how our choices affect not only ourselves, but also those around us. Good reminder!
Oh friend, I totally hear you on this one. I'm SO sorry for the cost, but I'm so glad you got it fixed! Adam had a tooth pulled years ago and we still haven't gotten it "fixed" b/c of the outrageous cost. Sigh. SO painful to spend money on something like that!! (but also important I guess?). sigh.
