I went to the same dentist for most of my life up until I move to TX... Never had any problems...
Once I moved here, my new dentist told me my teeth were **** and all my fillings needed to be replaced, etc... He also double-billed my insurance company... I've since found another honest one but it took several tries and from talking to people at work, it's pretty common around here...
So like Slava said, it's wise to at least get a second opinion from a good Dentist... Yelp can help find someone.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. Think I need to use Yelp. I went to a new dentist and they tried charging me 1,000 dollars for cleaning and fillings and an addition 4-6,000 for invisalign or braces. I am losing faith in dentists.

My dentist charged me $1000 for fillings and cleaning too but helps to have $0 co-pay with dental insurance and I have really f-ed up molars with chocolate addiction.

You okay bro? Been a while I've seen folks talking to themselves in here...

Just an age thing. Nothing to worry about. Classic dementia if you ask me.

Most of the time my conversations on RealGM are with guys like you and EArl...
So I ask ya'll... What's the difference?

Dementia would be like stroll down Allee Centrale in Spring by comparison.

So now I'm two people :gossip:

I definitely have Schadenfreude tendencies so talking to me is probably not good for you.

I went to the doctor and he didn't recommend x rays because I would have gotten a dose of ionizing radiation on my balls, but he said its most likely broken and to not do any kind of physical activity for three weeks. RIP Me.

Per multiple league sources, the Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a trade with the 49ers for the rights to coach Jim Harbaugh.

A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams. But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers.

What. The. ****. :banghead:

I dunno what happened but as I was lifting a sack of rice to load at the back of my car (we get a monthly supply of rice from work), it was about 10 cm from the top of the push cart and it slipped. I chased after it before falling down and was able to catch it and lift it up again. as I was driving my car this sudden pain hit the left side of my lower back. can't really point where exactly the pain is coming from.

sucks. can't bend, can't lift, and since my Corolla's a classic, stepping on the clutch is a nightmare.

Back injuries are a nightmare. I'm not speaking from experience, but I know people who are absolutely miserable because of lingering back pain. Use a heat pad and take pain killers for a day or two and see what's up, if it's still a problem I would strongly recommend seeing a orthopedist or a chiropractor.

I'm guessing Monstars will be Wade, Bosh, Durant, Paul, and Melo.

Yep... I think for the entire time-slot too... At least 6 times. They'd add a minute or 2 of the movie each time.
I hadn't seen that before either. I'm not sure how that happens.
