Just went thru it last fall. Cap, then root canal thru the cap 3 months later. Still hurts occasionally, although it does take up to 6 to 8 months to finally heal. PIA for sure. Thank god for insurance as they paid for most of it.

It only hurts when you get hot or cold stuff on the cap. I had four caps down last year.

As my sister (a registered nurse) said, they are one of 2 professions that have you by the b*lls.
Dentist and Optometrist, since you have to see and you have to eat.
Fortunately, you can claim medical and dental expenses on you taxes if you itemize your deductions. You can claim any out of pocket expense over 7.5% of you taxable wages. It not a whole lot, but after dishing out 15 grand for implants last year, it was nice to get something back.

If I spend 15K on implants, those babies better win a wet t-shirt contest or two. |
