For misc work reasons, today I have come across the obituaries of what sound like two great New York ladies. [link] [link] Enjoy.

And dental insurance is, generally speaking, crap.

Yeah, I'm going to be paying more than twice as much as her insurance is. Whereas in my experience that ratio tends to be reversed with regular medical insurance.

Well, with teeth, as opposed to most medicine, there is the option to say "Yank 'em all, dammit, I'm going with something sturdier."

Dentures are pretty miserable, or so I hear. I had to have a partial denture for a couple months when I was getting a bridge made for my front teeth, which wasn't intended to be fitted really well to start with.

Dad's gotten used to his, but then he's had them for more than 50 years. Apparently dentists in the 1950s had a pull first and ask questions later policy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
on this line of thinking - y'all are familiar with the common dream of teeth falling out? I had a dream last week of my gums separating from my jaw and falling out, it was incredibly painful.

My mother had to talk a dentist into pulling all hers (30 years or so ago?), after she got tired of dealing with fillings getting pulled out etc. She was so happy to be able to eat salt water taffy again.

Tooth problems squick me out, so I'd rather deal with a broken rib or even limb, despite the greater severity and recovery time.

Always Anti-fascist!
Apparently, now the thinking has changed to wanting people to keep more of their teeth. Sorry to read about the dental insurance problems, but at least I know it's not just me. And Mitt Romney apparently thinks "Add dental to Obamacare' would be a terrible threat, instead of "Wow, could they do that?"
