    Go to the dentist. It’s cheaper than not going. It’s only twice a year.

    Skip a luxury or two. Do some GrubHub or Uber for a few days if you need to. The dentist is more important than most doctor appointments, unless you have a chronic condition.

      Dude when you haven’t gone in 20 years that bill is like $15k. Each. No luxuries to skip, we both already work 60 hrs.

        At least get a cleaning for a few hundred bucks, opt for x-rays, then discuss what your options are for restorative work. Finding abscesses and getting screened for oral cancer is important to your overall health.
