Buffy's Savings Diary

Are the missing teeth visible? I have some missing teeth but they are at the back so not a problem really. If visible and getting you down then get them sorted. A lot of money though

When you say two that need to be finished do you mean you have the screw in the bone and need the crown placed? If so, I vote start there. (We are voting aren't we?) That would be two down and you will feel so much better getting on with it.

Yes exactly that, I chickened out during the treatment about 3 ish year ago? and never got them finished. The original dentist was not very good and I was very unhappy....it could be that they are just as expensive tho as this guy will use different stuff or might do etc.

you sound just like me dodgy teeth I have just had a plate for the ones on show, I don't want to look like someone off Jeremy Kyle. But that's not the important thing now boobs are, so sort that out first as that is the first priority and then teeth.

I don't know how old you are buffy but if it was the front teeth i would find the money somehow. Mind you might be difficult as I can't even get a interview let alone a job.

Just deal with one thing at a time and go from there.

Take care.

Yes. this is true. XXXXXX

On a cost per wearing basis, the teeth would work out cheaper than most things we buy. As you do a job in which you are very visible, I'd go with the teeth but shop around and haggle! It may only save a few hundred but if it doesn't work, you won't be any worse off. Can I ask what you'd do if there was a like for like situation with one of your pets?

*mumbles something about a 345 pound vet bill*

Yeah I am going to do it one way or another.

Ugh.

I know dental treatments are far cheaper in Eastern European countries and there's plenty of places in the UK that front for them and fly you out and arrange everything - that's got to be worth looking in to.

I was wondering about that. I live very close to the Mexico border and I know that a lot of people go over for their crowns, implants etc. and they have an excellent reputation.
But if I were going out of country, I would have to know someone who had gone and could recommend a specific clinic. Actually I would need to hear it from several who had gone. :think:

Just be careful when choosing there are so many cons out there and places that will end up botching things. Do the research then do it again. I am certain you will but had to say it. Good luck looking.

hi Buffy

so sorry to hear about your aunt, and hope everyone's right about your cyst.

Re teeth I can see why you'd want to do it - I had mine straightened out well past the age when anyone else was wearing braces - but do find a dentist you're really comfortable with.

Also, can you maybe find a split you're comfortable with for teeth vs house savings? 80/20, for example? If you're looking somewhere much cheaper, maybe if you paid a big deposit you could manage a shorter term mortgage if/ when you do move there, and it would mean you're getting somewhere with that plan even if not within 3 years.
