These are a series of posts that represent the ways I have been blessed financially through ways that are completely void of my own merit. Specifically, and more importantly let it be a testimony that God provides daily for those who are in need.
Late last week, I finally decided to bite the bullet and get my teeth cleaned. It's not that I have been neglecting my teeth purposefully - I just haven't had dental insurance since I graduated from Alfred in May 2008. So I called up a few different places for the best quotes I could find. Not surprisingly, I decided on Lalor Dental Associates. When I did have insurance, this place, by far, has been the most helpful, friendly and trustworthy. In addition, it all offered the cheapest service I could find - $62, if you're interested. More bonus points for Lalor, I was also surprised by how quickly they were able to schedule me in. On a Thursday afternoon phone call, I got a Monday morning appointment.
The cleaning went wonderfully. For not having a professional cleaning, I was well complemented and praised for my well-maintained teeth. The secret is simply brushing them well, twice a day, and using floss at night. I've only had one cavity my entire life.
The best part? I went to pony up the dough before leaving and I was humbly surprised to hear the total amount: $40. Apparently the last time my mom had visited (over 4 years ago), she overpaid by $22. Since we're on the same account, I got that credited to my bill. Also got a free toothbrush and a mini-tube of toothpaste... that's an extra $3 there right?
