how about that 2nd opinion?

right, so Tuesday I had the dentist appointment and after it was done, I had the estimate for the work that I needed to have done. My dad says I should get a second opinion and blah blah blah.

lat night he comes into my room and gives me an ad for a dentist near the bank I go to. the ad says that new patients, without insurance (and hey! that's me!), can get a free dental exam and x-rays.

I did tell him to find me a dentist that gives free exams and while initially he said it wasn't his money, he does exactly what I told him to do. it pissed me off that he just won't leave it alone. it never leaves anything alone.

This dentist's tooth extractions start at $69.95 which is about $20 less than my dentist's starting cost.

I've never done the whole second opinion thing and I do not want to talk about this any further with my dad, but I'm guessing I should maybe tell my dentist that I want to get a 2nd opinion and if I can have a copy of the work they're saying I need so that I can take it with me when I go to this other dentist...and I'm also guessing that I shouldn't tell this other dentist that I'm using them for a 2nd opinion because then they might charge me?

I don't even know. But I'll be calling this new place in 20 minutes when they open.

damn it, I went to their website and they just might have better hours than my dentist. at least when it comes to the weekend. They're open Saturday and Sunday from 9a-3p. But during the week they close at 5p and my dentist is open until 7:30p during the week.
