Heh. I’ve been avoiding the dentist for what I thought was a few years. Then I realized I hadn’t been since before I was pregnant with ltc, and she is going to be 11 in August. My former dentist had been very angry at me when I refused X-rays while undergoing fertility treatment, and it triggered all my dental anxiety badly. So, now I need a bunch of dental work. The new dentist and hygienist seem to be nice so far, and they know about my severe dental anxiety.

Ugh, Trudy. It’s so frustrating trying to find someone that takes your insurance.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My dentist isn't in my insurance network, but they are giving me a discount and financing and I feel like dental insurance never really saved me much out of pocket anyway so I am going with it

Yeah, "Oh, we take it but we don't take it that way" or "Oh, we do the procedure but in a different way they don't cover" shouldn't count as "Yes! We'll take your insurance!"
They just sent me a single x-ray on my phone. That seems... odd? We'll let new dentist decide. NYU's Dental school has been great. The only reason I was switching was the coverage.
Their regular dental coverage has been great, so that's nice.
